AutoCAD LT 2D drafting and detailing software is the professional choice because we focus on boosting your productivity and enables you to accurately and efficiently create, document, and share your drawings. The genuine DWG file format provides stability and compatibility. Packed with powerful features, AutoCAD LT is built for professional drafting.
AutoCAD LT is a version of AutoCAD with more limited capabilities. It costs less. In addition to being sold directly by Autodesk, it is also available for purchase at computer stores, unlike the full version of AutoCAD which must be purchased from an official Autodesk dealer. It was developed so that Autodesk could have an entry-level CAD package available to compete in that price class. AutoCAD LT is marketed as a CAD package for those who only need 2D functionality.
Compared to the full edition of AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT lacks several features: most notably, it has no 3D modeling capabilities (although it has several 3D viewing functions for looking at 3D models created in other CAD packages) and blocks the use of any programming interfaces, such as support for most third party programs and does not allow AutoLISP programs. Also, the Autodesk Raster Design 2010 Object Enabler cannot be installed in the LT version of AutoCAD, therefore images such as ECW or SID cannot be viewed in this version of AutoCAD. A full listing of differences is on the Autodesk website. AutoCAD LT originated by taking the codebase of AutoCAD and commenting out substantial portions, which allowed AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT to be developed simultaneously.
