AutoCAD LT® 2D drafting and detailing software is the professional choice for productivity, reliability, and compatibility.
Extend your competitive advantage by using industry-standard AutoCAD LT software for 2D drafting and detailing. Create drawings in the genuine DWG™ file format for enhanced stability and compatibility when communicating with clients and colleagues. And get even better performance by optimizing your software for the way you work. Packed with powerful features, AutoCAD LT is built for professional drafting.
Document
Use a complete set of 2D drafting and detailing tools to produce precise technical drawings—accurately and efficiently.
Document in 2D
Create simple or complex drawings from standard shapes such as lines, arcs, and circles. Modify existing geometry with commands such as stretch, copy, rotate, and scale. Add annotations—including text, dimensions, and tables—to help convey your ideas.
Be More Productive
AutoCAD LT is designed with one goal in mind: increasing your productivity. Each release of AutoCAD LT includes feature enhancements and additions that introduce new ways to promote drafting efficiency.
Collaborate
Work easily and effectively with clients and colleagues.
Get Industry-leading Reliability and Stability
Create drawings in the genuine DWG file format and have confidence in data integrity when sharing your work. Maximize productivity by reducing time lost tackling corrupted or incompatible data.
Enjoy AutoCAD Compatibility
AutoCAD LT is fully integrated with other Autodesk® software products, making it easy for you to share data with others or expand your capabilities.
Incorporate External Files
Reuse data and create richer documents by referencing external information from colleagues or clients—such as DWG files, JPG and TIF images, Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheets, and DWF™ and PDF underlays—in your drawings.
Share Files Electronically
Electronically publish and distribute drawing sets in a single DWF or PDF file for fast, secure collaboration.
Optimize
Improve efficiency by making AutoCAD LT work the way you do with a variety of user interface options.
Standardize Drawings
Save time and standardize drawings by using blocks, adding dynamic properties to accommodate multiple sizes or views in a single block. Get quick access to frequently used content, such as blocks, hatches, and commands with tool palettes.
Tailor Your Environment
Quickly find your way around the screen with tools to locate commands, view all open drawings, and navigate between different areas in an open drawing. Optimize your work environment by tailoring the location and appearance of commands to meet your needs and company standards.
FAQ
1) If I'm using a previous AutoCAD LT software release, what will I gain by moving to AutoCAD LT 2011?
Each release of AutoCAD LT has offered new and improved tools for increased productivity.
AutoCAD LT 2006 software streamlined everyday tasks. Dimensioning was improved, and text editing was enhanced.
AutoCAD LT 2007 enabled designers to work even faster and smarter with powerful new features such as Dynamic Blocks and layer management tools.
AutoCAD LT 2008 introduced automated annotation scaling and layer properties per viewport, making workarounds a thing of the past.
AutoCAD LT 2009 provided improved drafting efficiency with a user interface that not only sped up routine tasks, but also helped new users become productive as quickly as possible.
AutoCAD LT 2010 brought time-saving 2D tools like ALIGN, xref, and block attribute commands. Enhanced PDF support made sharing and reusing designs easier through publishing improvements and new import and underlay capabilities.
Now AutoCAD LT 2011 further enhances productivity with new tools that provide flexibility and control and help you specify the appearance of drawings. You can add transparency to objects and layers, and edit hatches and polylines with intuitive grips.
2) What are the key differences between AutoCAD LT 2011 and AutoCAD 2011 software?
Both AutoCAD® 2011 and AutoCAD LT 2011 software programs use the same software architecture and technology, and both create files in the same native DWGTM file format and the DWFTM or PDF file specification.
But AutoCAD 2011 provides additional capabilities in the following key areas:
• Advanced customization with LISP, ARX, and VBA
• 3D modeling capabilities using free-form design tools
• 3D visualization and rendering
• Network licensing
• Management and automation capabilities with Sheet Set Manager and Action Recorder
• 3D printing
• CAD standards management tools
3) How can I run AutoCAD LT on Mac hardware?
You can run AutoCAD LT 2011 software on a Macintosh computer through Parallels Desktop, Autodesk's preferred Mac virtualization software, or by using Apple's Boot Camp feature. AutoCAD LT can be used on the Mac via Parallel Desktop for Mac without having to boot directly into the Windows OS, so it is easy to switch between platforms.
With Boot Camp, you can install AutoCAD LT on a Mac computer on a Windows partition. The system must use Boot Camp to manage a dual OS configuration and meet the minimum system requirements.
4) Can I customize the functionality of my AutoCAD LT software?
Although you may customize settings and menus, AutoCAD LT software cannot be customized or modified. If your 2D drafting software needs include unique requirements, AutoCAD software provides direct access to database structures, the graphics system, and native command definitions, which enables you to develop specialized design and drafting applications. You can also leverage third-party applications.
5) Will product activation allow me to use the software on multiple machines?
Autodesk recognizes that some users may need to operate their software when away from their usual work location. To accommodate this need, the product activation technology allows an employee to install the software on a second computer owned by the employee's company, provided it is for use away from the employee's usual work location, the software is used only by that employee and no other, and only one of the two copies of the software is ever in use at any one time. Consult the Autodesk Software License Agreement for details about using the software on a second computer.
6) Has the AutoCAD LT software DWG file format changed for AutoCAD LT 2011?
The file format for AutoCAD LT 2011 is the same as for AutoCAD LT 2010. AutoCAD LT 2011 can also save drawings in a wide variety of formats, ranging back to R14 DWG and R12 DXFTM.
AutoCAD LT 2011 software reads drawing files from all previous versions of AutoCAD LT and AutoCAD software.
7) Does AutoCAD LT 2011 software read and save drawings created by earlier releases of AutoCAD?
AutoCAD LT 2011 software reads drawing files from all previous versions of AutoCAD LT and AutoCAD software.
