Lighter option to AutoCAD complete edition, yet uselful enough

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.

PROS

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

CONS

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

The Best Outdated Option

It's probably the best tool for drafting and many engineers right now who have a big budget. But its days are short lived, probably won't last much longer as any basic standard. AutoCad needs to completely reshape itself for the modern era and provide more intuitive controls and tools.

PROS

Standard across engineering, drafting, design, and many other technical and artistic digital studios. Minimalist approach at first take but the amount of options and versatility offered is quickly overwhelming/exciting. AutoCad LT offers a vast collection of tools for basic and advanced drawing. Our engineering firm has always used AutoCad and makes good with full 11x17 standard sized drawings for customers and internal designs. We like the relatively simple arrangement of seemingly endless tools, straight forward learning curve for starting out drafting basic stuff, and default options for professional presentations.

CONS

Extremely expensive for overly complicated software lacking any real updates - see changes from Photoshop CS2 - CS6 and any newer software. AutoCad feels awkward, stupid, and completely outdated. It seems to be falling behind because the majority of users are older and don't want changes. However AutoCad cannot last with this and becomes frustrating to use for more extensive drafting. There are no options for speeding up and simplifying multiple pages for one larger project. AutoCad makes everything difficult and puts extra steps into some tools. There are some tools that are way more complicated than they should be. I don't think we will use AutoCad long term. It's way too expensive, too complicated, isn't evolving into an easier to use and better setup engineering tool, and obviously isn't getting any better with age.

It's good to set out cladding panes and SFS design and getting pages set up for our construction team

It has random crashes ever now and then, when you try and hatch a large area. However that could be due to my work computer.

Rating AutoCAD LT from employee eye

PROS

I use Autocad for a looong long time. It is very easy and powerful tool for making vector and CAD drawings.

CONS

For a LT version I have no complains about it. I prefer full version of it (with plugins etc.) but for smaller amount of money it is enough for work in our industry.

The best 2D drafting tool

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

PROS

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

CONS

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

Good for 2D product living in a 3D world

It is the standard for 2D. I don't like designing with it, but rarely have issues. It is intuitive and plays well with other 2D programs for import and export.

PROS

Timeless. I learned how to use this this a lifetime ago and can still use it when I need it every 2 years or so.

CONS

Having used parametric 3D CAD, going back to work with dumb lines is a little jarring. I am used to using relations like midpoint, tangent, etc, and when I edit dimensions these relations are maintained. Editing line lengths, shapes, and positions is more tedious when when you have to deliberately create these relations.

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

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

PROS

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.

CONS

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

Reason for choosing AutoCAD LT

its still auto Cad works great i can design color and print as i would im just saving80%

Reasons for switching to AutoCAD LT

Lower cost and needed more license

What CAN'T you do?

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.

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

The industry standard, but expensive

I'm an architect, and I use this software for all my drawings. It's a fluid design and presentation tool that simply works.

PROS

I've been working with AutoCAD LT for many years, and have tried the other standard options (Microstation and Vectorworks). AutoCAD LT is hands down the most accurate, quickest to draw with, and most likely to be compatible with everything else.

CONS

The cost - the change to a subscription model is understandable, but it screws over those of us who invested in perpetual licences with maintenance. It's also still pretty hopeless at references, which make any file irritatingly slow.

AutoCAD LT: Among the Best Draughting Softwares

Since the beginning, the experience has been positive. I was used to working with AutoCAD, but it's much more expensive than the LT version, and thus far I haven't had any problems.

PROS

The library function for all sections, which makes it simpler to discover information within the application itself, is to me AutoCAD LT's extra strong point.Another strength is the quick answers and accurate development of projects and drawings.

CONS

Simpler introduction techniques would be ideal because it's crucial that users comprehend it and don't just interact with the software as a program operator.

Reasons for switching to AutoCAD LT

AllyCAD was sold to KnowledgeBase, which did not have a Student Version at the time.

Great value for simpler projects

Much more cost effective way to use AutoCAD than the full suite. Would not work on larger projects but suits our needs perfectly

PROS

Runs faster due to no 3d elements - great if not using Revit or 3d elements like AutoCAD Architecture

CONS

No complaints, UI is like every other AutoCad version and runs much faster. Only would be a negative if you needed 3d components.

AutoCAD LT for Interior Designers

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.

PROS

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!

CONS

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

Overall, AutoCAD LT is perfect for my engineering and drafting needs .

PROS

Most of the time, I don't need the full version of AutoCAD in my day-to-day use. 99% of the time, LT works perfectly for what I need it to, and for the other 1%, I've found other ways to do what needed to be done.

CONS

The only issue is when you aren't able to use a function that is in the full version of AutoCAD but not in the Auto CAD LT

CONS

If unfamiliar with Autocad, it can take a little time to get it to do what you need. LT has most features as full blown Autocad but have run into a few that it is missing.

Autocad LT does the job

I work with electrical schematics and layout of electrical panels. Autocad LT really does the job. Excellent software for engineering.

PROS

The basic functions of the tool are very easy to use. It has many features, really complete and the help system of the software explains very well how to carry out the commands. Although it is a "simpler" version than the full version, as it is not possible to make 3D drawings, it is a very complete tool for 2D works. Really great software.

CONS

I do not have any. It is an easy-to-use program, much smoother to work with, you don't need a very powerful PC to perform the basic tasks.

AUTO CAD LT Review 2021

PROS

At Quality Assurance Department, in which I am currently in, every time I am doubtful with the calculations and/or results of the failure analysis conducted through actual simulation of the step motors, especially when it comes to physical dimensional issues and compatibility of parts, I intended to either re-assess and/or re-evaluate it using the AutoCAD LT software as for another form of verification. From there, unknown dimensions can also be clarified before giving out our final disposition of the product.

CONS

Sometimes it is prone to system's crash (I guess, so?). Maybe it has something to do with the compatibility issues in the PC we used and/or the graphic cards installed in it I supposed, but sometimes, when I am in the middle of verifying something, it got freeze out, which is a little bit annoying. Nonetheless, it was so powerful and helpful for me!
