### "Overall an excellent product for drawings"

July 16, 2019

5.0

Pros

Works well. Have been using it since 2005. The 2019 version does what it is supposed to do. Works well with Windows 10.

Cons

Subscription based. Over priced in my opinion.

### "My Review!"

November 28, 2018

5.0

Overall, I enjoy the software. I need it for my job and because what I do, I know I will get it down in no time as I am still new to it.

Pros

I like that the software pretty much prompts you to do what you are asking it to. It's helpful.

Cons

I think there is just so much to learn still and get used to navigating through everything can be difficult.

July 10, 2018

Pros

A great work by Autodesk for providing a lite version of Auto Cad it has all the tool for 2-D drawing and can be easily understood by the user.

Cons

Of course it doesn't support 3D drawings,LISP,VBA which are software programming languages but still gets the job done.

### "AutoCAD LT"

August 4, 2019

4.0

Pros

AutoCAD is an easy to use architecture/ drawing program. I had to use it for a project without any prior training and was able to handle the basics easily thanks to its simple interface.

Cons

The only thing that bugged me about AutoCAD is the long start up time and the fact that it lags sometimes, which is still understandable considering its size and many tools.

February 26, 2017

5.0

Ive tried to save money and use other cheaper software, but nothing compares to AutoCAD. This Lt version is just a great deal. Even though they went to a subscription model only, it is still the best for the money.

### "Good for basic drafting."

October 21, 2019

5.0

It aid the accuracy of computer aided drafting and very friendly for the beginners.

Pros

I think it's like the usual AutoCad but i think it has less functions. It's very useful for basic drafting.

Cons

The isometric function was not there and you have to so it manually. It was quite important to my job for visual presentation

### "Cost Effective Drawing Tool"

November 22, 2018

4.0

Pros

A great work by autodesk for providing lite version of Autodesk. It has all the tools for 2D drawing and can be easily understood by a rookie.

Cons

Of course it doesn't support 3D since it is lite version. LISP and VBA programming languages are also not supported. But still a good software.

### "Good for a cheap CAD program"

January 24, 2019

5.0

Pros

Cheap and affordable. Won't do everything but it is a basic CAD program that gets the job done.

Cons

Nothing really. It is bare bones so take that for what it's worth.

### "This is basically the same as the previously amazing program that is Autocad"

May 18, 2017

4.0

AutoCAD is great

Pros

This stripped down version of AutoCAD gives you all the tools you need to do basic drafting. If you have no need for all the bells and whistles and want to save some money by not buying the regular AutoCAD, this is the way you should go.

Cons

Since I do use all of the original AutoCAD features my biggest con is the limitations of this software. This is an unfair evaluation though considering the whole point of this software is to provide limited functions.

### "Nice tool for light drawing"

January 6, 2017

5.0

As the name suggest Autocad LT is a nice tool for light drawing and a tool which is user-friendly. Only concern is of large companies when you have multiple product licenses you have no option to utilize higher end licenses to gain Autocad LT license.To simplify you can not open Autocad LT if you have Autocad premium design suite license.

### "I'm very happy with the MAC version of AutoCAD LT. Works similarly to the PC version"

June 27, 2017

5.0

I can use it on MAC which has been my preferred platform for the past 5 years.

Pros

Since moving away from the Architecture industry and going from being a PC user to a MAC user I was happy to see the ACAD LT was available on MAC. Everything works seamlessly and virtually the same as the PC version

Cons

The biggest challenge has been plotting. There are a few bugs with saving previous plots and settings but otherwise it's not prohibitive.

### "LT gives you almost all the features of the full version"

April 18, 2017

5.0

Use to have the full version, but have been using LT for the past few years. Able to do the work needed without the added cost. Not super excited the software companies have gone away from buying the program to more of a lease, but has smaller up front cost. Also, you as the user get more updates and new features this way.
