Some time issues with proper printing Review Source Pete P. Owner / Operator Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quarter of the cost" December 18, 2019 5.0 I am a dedicated Autodesk AutoCAD user. I started sing R-13 and I still use Autodesk CAD software to this day Pros What I like the most about AutoCAD Lt is its cost. A years subscription can be up to twenty five percent of the original program. Cons It has a lot of features and commands. However it does not have all of the commands that the full version has. Review Source JJ Jacek J. Architect Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "All the CAD needs " October 3, 2020 5.0 We use it as a our second software along Revit. DWG is a popular format used for publishing technical drawing in many fields and sometimes it is required to edit such files. AutoCAD Lt offer less than regular AutoCAD but still enough to fit our needs. Pros Has all the features we require and we don't pay for unused ones. As an Autodesk product it is of highest quiality, as expected - interface, tools, compatibility, all work flawlessly. Cons Not out main tool because o it inherited problems - 2d drawings and little automation or bim capabilities. Review Source AH Andrea H. Tecnico IT Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Un primo approccio per imparare AutoCAD" July 14, 2023 4.0 Pros Gli aspetti positivi che si notano a prima vista è sicuramente l'interfaccia molto intuitiva, anche per quanto riguarda l'uso degli strumenti per disegnare in 2D. Ha tutte le funzionalità per creare linee, curve, poligoni e testo dando la possibilità di quotare il disegno. Compatibile con file DWG,PDF o DXF che permette una facile condivisione con altre persone. Usando coordinate e comandi di base si riesce con precisione elevata a puntare nella giusta posizione linee e oggetti, anche la personalizzazione non è da meno dove a piacere possiamo mettere nell'interfaccia strumenti di base a seconda delle esigenze. Cons La parte negativa di questa versione che rispetto al vero AutoCAD completo non ha tutte le funzionalità per il disegno tridimensionale, inoltre in caso di scelta d'abbonamento non è molto vantaggioso proprio per questa limitazione di funzionalità.

It perfect for simple 2D plant prints without the large cost of full AutoCAD. Cons I had some file compatibility issues, but it was ultimately resolved with a reinstall. Review Source CL Carlos L.

Co-Ceo Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It is the price" March 20, 2024 5.0 Pros Its the most complete program to draw to our company. Cons The price, its very expensive, doesnt make sense. Review Source FC Filipe C. Resident Engineer Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Autocad Review" July 3, 2023 4.0 Pros One of the best softwares for 2D technical drawing of building plans, it's our prefered software to keep in date with our company plan. Cons It's a bit difficult at the begging due to the fact there is a lot of comands to memorize, and the start could be a little to slow for someone in a hurry. Review Source Nick D. Systems Engineer Industrial Automation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fully functional, very expensive, resource pig" September 23, 2021 5.0 Electrical and 2D layout drawings are being developed with this software. Overall it fills the need but we will be looking for alternatives to reduce cost if possible. Pros The software is incredibly powerful and does everything and more that we need it for. Once you get to know the keyboard commands you can develop schematics relatively quickly. Cons The program consumes an excessive amount of processor & memory resources to work and the subscription model is very expensive compared to other products on the market. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Education and Communications Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A very helpful software but sometimes hard to learn." November 22, 2017 4.0 Pros Easy to integrate in manufacturing applications. The printing options available are better than competition. Cons The software is difficult to learn and is not intuitive for some of the tools. The 3D features are limited and not very accessible. Review Source scott W. Director of Field Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We use Autocad to produce drawings for our customers." March 1, 2018 5.0 By using Autocad, we have been able to land several high profile clients. Pros Being self-taught using Autocad, the LT version has been very easy to learn. The program gives you exactly what it says. The end results are clean, clear and concise. Cons This software is a utility hog. That is the only real problem with it. Even when it is not "running" it is using a large amount of the memory of your computer. Review Source CA Ciprian A. Civil Designer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Affordable solution that will get the job done" November 16, 2017 4.0 got the job done Pros Best bang for your money as long as you don't need the 3D and other features from the more expensive editions. Cons Somewhat limited functionality which can get frustrating at times. Make sure you go over the features to ensure that it will fit your needs. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Lead CAD Designer Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AutoCad LT " May 13, 2019 4.0 Pros The installation is very easy and the migration of previous version information works very well. Cons The online portion of Autodesk is not easy to turn off and there are functions that I never use that I can not remove. The cloud function should be easier to turn off. Review Source AC Andy C. Project Engineer Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use this software mostly for P&ID generation and site GAs." January 11, 2018 5.0 I have been able to make clean and concise P&ID drawings and layout/utilize GA and elevation drawings of my sites. Pros Its very powerful. I am amazed how accurately the Snap functions predict the points I want to measure/draw to. Most things are pretty intuitive and the changes between versions haven't been difficult to figure out. The command bar at the bottom has remained so I have always been able to do what I want even if I can't find the icon. I really like the "area" function when working with GA drawings. Cons I think the "Help" portion could be better with links to tutorials. I've had to general "Google" some items to find answers. I wish mobile version was easier to use. I wish there was a large library of blocks available without having to download them. The software is expensive although probably worth it. Review Source CA Curt A. Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AutoCAD LT Review" September 25, 2018 5.0 AutoCAD LT has transformed our drafting department. It provides for a nice transition for our clients to see exactly what they are purchasing to purchasing and manufacturing the product. Pros AutoCAD LT is a user friendly, all encompassing design software. The ease of use for our draftsmen is great. The design tools for this software are plentiful. Cons There is nothing that I like least about this software except that their customer service could be more helpful especially when it comes to billing. Review Source Abhinav S. Civil Engineer Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A must learn tool for all segments of construction and civil professionals." December 4, 2022 5.0 It was a great experience, been using it for 3 years now. Pros Ease of use and the UI/UX along with a wide range of functionalities it offers to the multiple segments of users. Cons Licensing and economic perspective for small and mid-range firms can be improved.

Project Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the Best CAD Products Out There" November 13, 2018 4.0 Helps us do CAD and save money as it is cheaper than the full version. Pros Love AutoCAD LT. It’s a cheaper alternative to the full blown version, and works great. Cons It would be nice to have some of the features in full blown AutoCAD. Review Source DH Daniel H. Engineer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Useful 2-Dimensional Drawing Software for Professionals" March 5, 2018 5.0 Pros AutoCAD LT is a pretty powerful 2D drawing software (3D is available with the regular AutoCAD). If you're doing layouts and parts designs, this software can handle that with quite a bit of functionality. It's also very compatible - older files can be opened with newer software, and newer software can save files into older formats for others who are not up-to-date. It's also customizable for the user interface - if you liked the old layout of commands, you can change it. If you like to type your command, you can do that, or if you're better with the mouse and the ribbon, those are also options. Cons One of AutoCAD LT's great benefits (Backwards compatibility) could also be holding it back - in order to be compatible it can't quite adapt as quick or as fully as you might expect. With a relatively new ribbon layout along with mouse shortcuts, these concerns are partially eliminated, but it's not quite as quick and clean as other, newer Autodesk software (for example, Inventor). Starting up without any experience is a challenge, but this is true for most 2D or 3D design software. Review Source Sebastián C. Freelance Geographer Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Working with CADs everywhere " August 9, 2018 5.0 Just the fact that I can work my CAD projects everywhere has make my work so much easy. Pros Well I have to say that there's plenty of thing that I really like about AutoCAD LT but I most definitely have to start with the fact that I can access and edit my CAD files in all my devices just using a web browsing, that's just awesome! Cons To be completely honest there's nothing I like the least about AutoCAD LT, the prices is great, the functionalities are awesome and the graphics are even better. Review Source SO Simo O.

It is very easy to use, when you know hotkeys by heart. Cons Some hatching issues sometimes. Hatch generator cant understand if lines are connected or not. Review Source Peter B. HVAC Controls Engineer Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "For the field engineer " August 20, 2018 5.0 Pros Easy to pick up and use as a view only and plot only service. Cons Not as complete as the full AutoCAD and doesn’t look the same if you are used to AutoCAD. Review Source Similar Products Featured
