AutoCAD LT

Lighter option to AutoCAD complete edition, yet uselful enough

Kommentare: It's been a satisfactory experience from the first time. I was used to work with the complete autocad edition but the price is way more elevated that the LT version and I really haven't had any issue with this so far.

Vorteile:

It has all the must have features that AutoCAD has for 2D planning, drawing, reading and development. Works great for my projects and it is perfect that it includes

Nachteile:

It has no 3D modeling of any kind, which is not always necessary, but in some cases you might need it.

It's the standard because it's better

Kommentare: We have saved a lot of time with AutoCAD LT with the constant use of library functions. The speed of the program is great, it's faster than all the other programs we've used in the past.

Vorteile:

AutoCAD LT offers features that other similar alternatives does not offer. It permits to have an extensive library of already drawn items. Instead of copying and pasting from previous drawings, we can draw it once, save it in the library and call on it whenever we like.

Nachteile:

With all great things there is usually a cons list, but for now the only con we've seen is the unfortunate trend of companies "forcing" to purchase an annual subscription to the product. Don't get me wrong, Autodesk offers a permanent licence but at a pretty steep cost. It may eventually be cost-effective, but with all the new features, bug fixes and incompatibility issues that arise with every new release, we are "forced" or lured to take the path of an annual subscription. But we are living in 2020, and like in The Mandalorian: "This is the way!".

Drawing program

Kommentare: It is an application that I can quickly model an easy 2 dimensional object. I can access this model I designed on the web and mobile.

Vorteile:

Provides the opportunity to create 2D drawings with easy-to-use drawing tools; It is software that supports desktop, web and mobile applications. It gives the user the chance to make 2D drawings very quickly.

Nachteile:

It cannot perform 3D modeling and visualization processes. It cannot perform the creation of images (render output) with lighting, materials and visual styles.

It is worth the price and can be used for low level of detail drawings

Kommentare: We had one new employee and we purchased this software for him to help us with basic detail drawings and corrections.

Vorteile:

That it can be implemented rapidly and it has just the basic features, enough to do the job.

Nachteile:

I consider that 3D models could at least be opened and be viewed.

Free to use read only CAD software

Kommentare: This has been a huge cost saving item for our company. For years we were battling with users opening AutoCAD just to view a CAD drawing (read only) for a few minutes, then closing it. that used up a licence token, which costs us money.
Following quite a large scale roll out of AutoCAD LT, now only the users who need to edit the drawings have access to the AutoCAD - the rest have AutoCAD LT.

Vorteile:

To be frank, the best feature of AutoCAD LT is that we can use it for free. Unlike AutoCAD itself, AutoCAD LT (for us at least) does not use up tokens on our flex licencing model. This has been a huge cost saving feature for our company, as many users only required read only access to CAD drawings and files.

Nachteile:

The only down side to AutoCAD LT for us is that it still needs to be packaged and rolled out to our users with the licence server details included, even though it does not use any of our licence tokens. This does mean a little extra work for our software packaging team, as if we could just send the users a link to download themselves, that would be easier.

Great Product

Vorteile:

User interface, the multitiude of work that can be done, page set up

Nachteile:

Ideally, It would be easier if templates were less arduios to to set up - architectural contemporay templates ready to go for varying project sizes would be preffered

Great way to improve your drafting process!

Vorteile:

The software is easy to use, works very well with multiple open windows.

Nachteile:

I use it daily and I don't have any problem. Totally worth its price.

Autocad LT Extraordinary

Vorteile:

I like it when we exclusively draw 2D objects.

Nachteile:

When we open the software, it took me so long to open. If we want to make 3D objects , it is very difficult. Recently i used to draw a layout of an Machinery Industry. It is better than Autocad i used before.

The best 2D drafting tool

Kommentare: I will keep using CAD LT even I have other BIM tool to use. Still the best drafting software ever!

Vorteile:

For the price and the features, you have 95% of the full CAD version to use, and the rest features are barely used anyway.

Nachteile:

Can't do 3D modeling. And you can easily use SketchUp (Free) or other BIM software to do it.

Affordable CAD Software

Vorteile:

It has the features we need at an affordable price

Nachteile:

There is no ability to view 3d even if there is no ability to draw 3d.

AutoCad-The Goto Drafting Tool

Vorteile:

Like all features of Autocad especially importing & exporting files.

Nachteile:

Suggest to add features like watermark label

Great value for it's price!

Kommentare: AutoCAD LT was the first software I used when I was introduced to CAD and it has proved to be beginner friendly. The software supports multiple dimensioning styles and units making it very efficient. I am so comfortable working with this software that I am not considering switching to a different one any time soon.

Vorteile:

AutoCAD LT can be customized to fit individual users' needs. Users can create custom toolbars, menus, and shortcut keys, making the software more efficient and personalized.

Nachteile:

Once in a while, the program may shut down unexpectedly and if the autosave feature is not enabled you lose your work.

AutoCAD LT is an excellent 2D &3D CAD design tools

Kommentare: AutoCAD LT is an excellent tool for streamlining the design process and helping to provide clarity, accuracy, and precision in designs. It can provide 2D and 3D representations of formats and allows users to create and modify designs in a fraction of the time it would take manually. AutoCAD LT has yielded various benefits, including time and cost savings, increased accuracy, reliance on a shared and documented design process, improved collaboration, improved design process control, and better customer satisfaction.

Vorteile:

The most impactful features of AutoCAD LT are 3D modeling, design visualization tools, a customizable interface, 2D drafting tools, and cloud connectivity. These features work together to make the software easy to use and quick to master. AutoCAD LT also offers a wide range of customization and customization options, making it an excellent choice for users who need to customize their experience to fit their needs. As for integration with existing business processes, AutoCAD LT is designed to be straightforward to use. With the wide range of APIs, the solution has to offer and the ability to integrate with other third-party applications.

Nachteile:

A few features could be improved in Auto CAD LT, such as the ability to work with 3D models and better interfacing with other popular CAD applications like Solidworks or Fusion. Regarding difficult-to-use aspects, it can be challenging to properly orient the model when using 3D viewports. Also, it can be challenging to set up the UCS with objects located in different planes, as the setup of the UCS is not visually intuitive. Lastly, integration with existing business processes can be challenging, as the LT version does not always have the feature set necessary for more sophisticated workloads.

Great Program but some glitches need to be fixed

Kommentare: This is my number one program, I am in the design field, I have used this program for almost everything. Greating banners, files for laser cutting, shop drawings, 3d rendering. etc.

Vorteile:

This program is great for anyone in the design industry. It helps create accurate drawings for architectural purpose, interior design purpose and generally anything that needs measurements. It is easy to use, and the commands are accessed easily by just entering first few letters. EG line command, just type in L and you will see a little box pop up asking you if you are trying to make a line.

Nachteile:

Finding that trying to change the work space to a custom work space causes the CAD to crash. So it would be great to fix that glitch, as every individual works differently on CAD and likes to have certain sets of command tools on there model space.

Functional, but hard to use

Kommentare: the product is necessary. i do not particularly like using it, and it is not my first choice for doing my own work. having said that, i do use the product, and i would recommend the product. everyone's mileage varies, and sometimes you just have to use something you don't particularly like because you have no choice.

Vorteile:

it is still the gold standard for the drawing formats that Autodesk invented. sometimes you just have to go back to the original, rather than just using other products that can read the files. as with other products, the clones just aren't 100 percent compatible with the original. i have never found anything that i couldn't read using AutoCAD LT.

Nachteile:

personally, i just find Autodesk products hard to use. i find them counter-intuitive and hard to understand. it's a user interface thing, and they have stuck with the same interface since they came up with their first products. i have a hard enough time getting it to do what i want, that i will use just about anything for day to day work.

Importance of AutocadLT

Vorteile:

Autocad lt is the best engineering software to do different engineering design activities

Nachteile:

I have not negative things about software

AutoCAD LT for Interior Designers

Kommentare: AutoCAD LT has allowed me to use all the necessary functions of autocad to perform my daily tasks as an interior designer. While I didn’t learn autocad using LT, I found that it was an extremely easy transition and that it really allows me to do everything I need to do.

Vorteile:

Easy to use, works well on MacBook. Works well for what I need to do on a daily basis as an interior designer.. covers the basics!

Nachteile:

Freezes occassionally and restoring isn’t as easy as I’d like. I wish it Autosaved!

if you just use Autocad for 2D plans just get this

Kommentare: its been positive, only thing it crashes sometimes with hatches and the file is easier to download and install

Vorteile:

It gives me what i need for the right price point rather than having to spend the money on the full Auto CAD. if you work on landscape or just do 2d plans then this works fine. and when you buy a version of LT you get i belive 4 years of upgrades free. so rather than spending a few thousand on somthing you dont need now, you can get LT and keep upgrading till you stop.

Nachteile:

some 3d elements and quick short cuts are not available but it really doesn't effect our daily work flow

AutoCAD LT is a compact version of AutoCAD which is great for low tier pc

Vorteile:

It's small size makes it less prone to lagging and freezing

Nachteile:

Certain features have been sacrificed to make it how it is

What CAN'T you do?

Kommentare: I've been using AutoCAD for many years and there are still many things to learn. I don't believe a single person will ever be able to learn all there is for AutoCAD to offer in their lifetime. Once you learn the basics, it is easy to use.

Vorteile:

There's so much you can do on this program. This is mainly a 2D drawing program and in that line of work, the possibilities are endless. It's highly recommended if you are drawing electrical. It works great for home floorplans.

Nachteile:

This is not the AutoCAD capable of drawing in 3D. This is specifically a 2D drawing program. That is the difference between AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. LT is 2D. This is very important when choosing programs.

excellent app

Kommentare: Overall the experience is very good, we use it daily in our office, developing projects quickly and lightly.

Vorteile:

Excellent application, offers the possibility of 2D drawings without complications in a lighter way than Autocad, intuitive interface, main resources available in the main tab

Nachteile:

The application does not allow 3d drawing and visualization

highly recommended

Kommentare: he best way to get your Autocad license and transferible, not limited to one personal Computer.

Vorteile:

the best and quick way to getyour licensed Autocad

Nachteile:

you need to log with an account and the account must be active

The Perfect Software for 2D Drawing

Kommentare: I am really satisfied with AutoCAD LT's usability and functionality. It is a great software for Engineers and engineering students also.

Vorteile:

This is a software which provides with all the features of 2D drawing. As a building engineer I use this software on a weekly basis for my work. Its ease of use and functionality has resisted myself from choosing any other CAD software over this.

Nachteile:

No cons actually. It would be better if 3D drawing was available in the software. It would lessen the hassle of exporting the project to another 3D rendering software.

Does everything I need

Kommentare: I've been using Auto CAD LT for several years for my design business. It serves my needs, and I have never had to call support for it once. Great experience overall.

Vorteile:

Simple to use. Doesn't have the full functionality of other versions, but I don't need those for my work.

Nachteile:

There's not really much I specifically dislike about AutoCAD T. Again, some features which I typically wouldn't use anyway aren't there, and honestly I've been pleasantly surprised to find features which I would have NOT thought would be available actually were.

Auto CAD is very nice software for anything to planning,drawing and designing.

Vorteile:

I like a commands in program and type of program structure.That is very easy to use.

Nachteile:

Program is not related to other design and planning programs.
