AutoCAD LT is a CAD software used for precise 2D drafting, design, and documentation. It is a more economical version of AutoCAD, which is a full-featured 2D and 3D CAD software. AutoCAD LT offers a comprehensive set of editing, design, and annotation tools, including features to automate tasks and increase productivity such as comparing drawings, counting, adding objects, and creating tables. Some of the key differences between AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT are:
- AutoCAD offers both 2D and 3D drafting and automation capabilities, while AutoCAD LT offers a comprehensive 2D drafting toolset.
- AutoCAD can create and edit 3D models with solids, surfaces, and mesh objects, whereas AutoCAD LT is limited to 2D drafting and doesnt have much visualization or presentation capabilities.
- AutoCAD includes access to specific toolsets and enhanced workflows across mobile, web, and desktop, while AutoCAD LT is limited to desktop use.
AutoCAD LT is used by architects, engineers, construction professionals, and designers who need to design, draft, and document with precise 2D geometry.
