Love it\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jessica** | *February 14, 2018* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This still has everything I need for 2D drafting, without all the extra frills that I'll never use. It's easy to use once you know all the tools/shortcuts/commands, but there are a lot of them. > > **Cons**: The only downside that I can think of is that the software crashes every now and then, which can be aggravating when you are working on a tight deadline. > > This software is widely used in the drafting industry, so it is easy to send and receive project files between employees/companies. ----- ### "The lighter version of AutoCAD" — 5.0/5 > **Morgan** | *September 19, 2018* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Most of us don't use all of the tools that AutoCAD has to offer. The 3D portion of it and the rendering capabilities. This was never AutoCADs strong point anyways so AutoCAD lT is a more efficient package. If you are doing simply construction documents this is a cheaper and adequate program to get the job done. Its the tried and true drafting program that everyone in the Architecture and Engineering industry use. > > **Cons**: The only cons are its limited 3D capabilities, which in todays world is pretty necessary. BIM is the way to go and is a much better way to be building nowadays anyways. If you can pony up the extra money, go for Revit. ----- ### "A cheaper version of AutoCAD, but missing some features" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *January 10, 2018* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The value of this is great. You can't beat the capabilities you get for the cost you are paying. This is purely a 2D drawing method with no 3D features at all. Essentially AutoCAD light. If you are just drawing in 2D it's hard to beat the value of this. > > **Cons**: No 3D elements and not always able to integrate with other features. There are other elements that do not come with this either. Please check what you use in CAD before purchasing to see if you need CAD of LT > > Cheaper version of AutoCAD. Hard to beat for the money. ----- ### "Autocad LT does the job" — 5.0/5 > **Wagner** | *April 19, 2021* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > I work with electrical schematics and layout of electrical panels. Autocad LT really does the job. Excellent software for engineering. ----- ### "A 2D awesome software for design" — 5.0/5 > **Raquel** | *February 19, 2018* > > **Pros**: For people who only likes to work in two dimensions this is the best choice. Another version of Autocad are very heavy and has all that options of 3D and rendering that I never use, but this one is perfect for me. In Autocad LT I can manage a huge range of tools for design any kind of plans, it has also a very easy interphase to work that do not require command line to work, in this version you can use PDF files and Bing maps which is very useful in some cases. The import of PDF files is secure and precise, and has a better objet selection tio improve your work. This is version is what I person like me needs to do plans and excellent designs in two dimensions. > > **Cons**: The software ahs a lot of details, but with some practice you can handle perfectly, this is not a software for people who loves rendering and 3D models, this is for professionals who make plans in two with accuracy and detail. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2059281/autocad-lt?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2059281/autocad-lt) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
