What do you like best about AutoCAD LT?

The best thing about AutoCad lite its interface and command that is user friendly and easy to use. No problem on the previous command even if it higher or lower version Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD LT?

I think base on my experience, Autocad lite is only design for 2d drawing and autocad full id for 3d modeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AutoCAD LT solving and how is that benefiting you?

Plan production instead of manual drawing. Updating is easy for different trades by doing the collaboration or xref command or tools. It is also best to show or dimension for estimate purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about AutoCAD LT?

AutoCAD LT is a powerful tool that enables the design and documentation of various objects, from buildings and mechanical components to electrical circuits and piping systems. AutoCAD LT is similar to its more robust counterpart, AutoCAD; however, it is specifically focused on 2D drafting and documentation. Although lacking certain advanced features, AutoCAD LT offers enough functionality to produce any 2D drawing required, regardless of complexity, with the added benefit of a reduced cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD LT?

For me, AutoCAD LT being tailored for 2D design is ideal since that is my primary use of the software; however, there is a limitation on the integration of customization tools. Unlike the full version of the software, AutoCAD LT limits the use of industry-specific tools and functionalities and custom programming utilities which restricts your ability to automate tasks and develop custom workflows. More advanced CAD Technicians may find this lack of toolset integration problematic as a simple task could take longer; however, first-time users will likely not miss this feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AutoCAD LT solving and how is that benefiting you?

AutoCAD LT enables me to draft and annotate my engineering designs with accuracy and efficiency at a lower cost than the full version. With AutoCAD LT's comprehensive set of tools, I can create and edit my designs digitally, thus generating a drawing that accurately represents my ideas. This digital file can then be easily exported and shared, allowing for increased collaboration and coordination between team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AutoCAD LT?

I like the fact that major upgrades rarely change how I interface with the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD LT?

I still do not like picking a 1 or 0 setting for things like VISRETAIN. I would prefer more common language setting selections like "yes/no" or "on/off" because if I go a while without needing to change the setting, I have to research if I want 1 or 0! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
