it doesn’t work on my pc

it is what it says it is.

AutoCAD LT is the younger brother to AutoCAD the full blown version that utilizes AutoCAD LT features but with 3D. A lot of design engineers use Google Sketchup as a quick and easy way to render new designs in 3D and then create their finished products in AutoCAD. That is one disadvantage to the LT version it is only 2D. I wrote an extensive review on AutoCAD LT 2011. 2012 has seen a lot of improvements in ribbon speed, startup times, and the new auto-complete command entry feature saves more time because all you need are the first few letters of a command name and a list appears.

I have been using AutoCAD 2012 for over a month now and am extremely satisfied. I installed the software on a Windows 7 64 bit machine with 12Gb of RAM. The software runs very smoothly and I have had no problems with stability at all. I have used several competing products and the latest version of AutoCAD continues to beat all. It is bar none the best 2D drawing package on the market today.

If you have used AutoCad before, then you will like this version. Yes, LT is slimmed down and yes, it is 2D only, but many projects do not require 3D. If you need 3D, then this is not for you. I like the DWG compatibility. This is a big plus for the package. However - even this trimmed down package is still a resource hog. Make sure you are running this on a high horse power system with plenty of memory and a powerful graphics card.

I have been using LT for over a month now, and I’m more than happy with everything it offers, and everything it doesn’t. The simple statement here is that if you do not need to render in 3D, LT is for you. As it is for me. Let’s face it, LT is a slight step down, but for the money, it is quite the bargain for the steps it takes for you in professional drafting.

AutoCAD LT 2012 does not offer everything the full blown AutoCAD does, but it is a great choice if you only need to do 2D drawings. +Now supports Associative Arraysn+Built in support for connecting to AutoCAD WSn+Save in older file formats for collaboration with people using older versionsn+Supports PDF files as an Underlayn+Improved Layer Managementn+Delete duplicate objects easilyn+Support for Windows 7n+You can upgrade if you are using AutoCAD LT 2009 or highernnLlimitations of the LT Version of AutoCAD 2012 include:n-No 3D modeling, so no walk-through or photorealistic renderingn-No Network Licensing

Lots of improvements with this version. There are new array features, which I liked a lot…especially being able to copy along a path with different spacing options.nThe help commands are also much better. Even if you don’t know AutoCAD’s terminology you can pretty quickly find out how to do what you need. This is very helpful if you’re coming from a different software.nSome of the commands are still buried, like creating a new layer.

WARNING - This is a 2D product. However, it is fully compatible with AutoCAD. For many, this is will be fine. For me, I live and think in a 3D world, and I found it difficult to make the switch from the 3D program available at my college. I am still relatively novice with AutoCad but found the interface to be pretty user friendly, even with a dated look & feel (GUI).

I was happy with PowerDirector until it started crashing my computer and then refusing to let me render in the resolution it was rendering in when it crashed. Every time it crashed, I lost a resolution until I was down to nearly nothing. Boy, was I glad Corel VideoStudio came along. I initially installed VideoStudio on my Windows 7 system. Then, I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 10. It worked on both systems without crashing either one.
