Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
AutoCAD LT is CAD software that is used for precise 2D drafting, design, and documentation. It includes features to automate tasks and increase productivity such as comparing drawings, counting, adding objects, and creating tables. AutoCAD LT enables users to create, edit, and annotate drawings via desktop, web, and mobile devices.
AutoCAD LT is used by architects, engineers, construction professionals, and designers who need to:Â
- Design, draft, and document with precise 2D geometry
- Access a comprehensive set of editing, design, and annotation tools
- Work faster in an intuitive and customizable interface
One of the biggest differences between AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT is that AutoCAD LT provides precision 2D drafting and documentation capabilities, while AutoCAD also provides 3D functionalities. AutoCAD LT enables you to do simple customizations, but doesn’t support built-in programming capabilities (AutoLISP). Compare AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT.
