You can switch from one OS to the other, with a maximum of two activations per year.AutoCAD LT Features: Document Your Ideas
Drawing ToolsAutoCAD LT drafting and detailing software allows you to use standard shapes such as lines, polygons, arcs, circles and ellipses to create simple or complex 2D drawings.
Editing ToolsModify existing geometry with commands such as Stretch, Scale and Rotate that change an object’s shape, size or location. Create new objects from existing ones easily with commands such as Copy, Offset and Mirror. Use the Align command to match the position, scale and rotation of two objects.
Associative Arrays – IMPROVEDAssociative arrays add significant and time-saving functionality by enabling the maintenance of relationships between arrayed objects. New enhancements, including a contextual ribbon tab during array creation, enable you to create objects in a pattern faster and more easily. With path arrays, you can also specify whether to maintain a fixed number of objects or to adjust the count automatically based on path length and item spacing.
Annotation ToolsComplete your 2D drawings with annotations such as text, dimensions and hatches. Text tools include word processor formatting options, spell check and fields that display referenced object and drawing properties. Multileaders enable you to add notes and callouts to specific objects. Intelligent dimensions display distances, angles and arc lengths. You can scale annotations automatically so that they are always the correct size for the current drawing scale. Use hatches in a variety of patterns and fills to highlight important areas in your 2D drawings.
Text Styles – IMPROVEDA new “strikethrough” style has been added to the editor for text, multileaders, dimensions and tables. This complements the underline and overline options previously available in AutoCAD LT drafting software.
Object & Layer TransparencyDisplay 2D drawing geometry with more flexibility by applying transparency to layers or objects. The ability to vary the transparency of objects or layers provides control over the on-screen and plotted appearance of your drawings.
