The Leading 2D Drafting and Detailing Tool
 

How about never again having to manually create a data table? From automating tables to streamlining the plotting process, AutoCAD LT® provides 2D productivity and collaboration tools that make drafting efficient, file sharing easy, and plotting simpler. And most important, it does it all in native DWG format.

Efficient Everyday Drafting
 

Get more done in fewer clicks with everyday productivity tools that save time and improve drawing accuracy.

• Automate table production and editing—Automatically create data tables, such as schedules, bills of materials, and sheet indexes with a single click. Plus you can import table data from Microsoft® Excel as well as easily edit tables for content and style.

   

• Optimize your workspace and get fast access to content—Enhanced tool palettes for storing frequently used commands and content save screen space and are easy to customize.

   

• Streamline layer management—The Layer Properties Manager provides filter capabilities to describe, group, view, and apply uniform properties to layers.

   

• Get an uncluttered view of text objects and automate symbols in text—Highlight multiline text on objects for clear viewing and insert commonly used symbols directly into text for easy editing.

File Sharing Made Easy
 

Sharing data is a smooth, seamless affair with AutoCAD LT—whether you’re exchanging native DWG files with team members who use AutoCAD and AutoCAD-based software, or DWF™ files with team members who need to view and mark up, but not edit, your drawing files.

• Confidently share native DWG data—You can be sure AutoCAD LT provides full DWG compatibility with AutoCAD and AutoCAD-based products, because it’s built on the DWG file format.

   

• Conveniently distribute DWG files—Package multiple DWG (and all supporting) files for electronic distribution in one easy step.

   

• Efficiently collaborate and review with DWF format—Publish drawings to DWF (Design Web Format™) for secure electronic transmission and streamline the review process by overlaying DWF markups created with Autodesk® DWF™ Composer, rather than reviewing paper markups.

Simplified Plotting
 

From single-click publishing to an intuitive interface, AutoCAD LT makes plotting easy business.

• Print in one easy step—The simplified plot user interface provides all page setup controls, including full preview capabilities, in one convenient location for single-click plotting.

   

• Spend more time drafting, less time waiting for plots—New background plotting means you can continue working in the drawing editor while you publish to DWF files or plot to paper.
