Pros I have been taking online classes to learn AutoCAD and am very impressed with the functions of AutoCAD LT.

September 5, 2017 3.0 It allows us to view and modify our old 2D drawings. Pros If you are looking for inexpensive software to create 2D drawings, AutoCAD LT will get the job done. Cons It's very frustrating to use 2D software if you've ever used 3D software, which is much more powerful. (Of course it's not AutoCAD's fault if you're still using 2D.) That said, the interface needs much improvement--it takes too long to do simple things. Review Source ZZ Zah Z.

Pros The product offers features for editing 2D geometry and annotating architectural drawings. I also love how you can attach and import PDf files. Considering the price, the software is a great tool for many designers. Cons The software provides single-user licensing, so it may be difficult to use as a business organization. It is not cloud based. Review Source RD Robert D.
