This lite version work similarly when compared to the original version. It is more beneficial for the beginner to start the auto cad LT version in which it is easy to draft a 2D drawing, and it is comparatively lower in price than the Auto cad original version. Even it is low in cost than the original version, we can do all detailed drawing drafting with Lt version, and also, we can superimpose or combine the drawing from the original version to LT version.
