AutoCAD by M

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. Either way you look at it, you are playing with the big wigs because you can now speak their language. With full DWG compatibility, you are able to associate yourself and others with the most popular file format. If you are dealing with people with limitations, you are the one with the ability to provide previous formats for them to utilize, not the other way around. With LT you can use anything. And if the people you are providing any of this for have nothing remotely possible to use any of your creations, well, you simply export a PDF version, or even JPG and TIF images. In some cases, you can cater to Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. So, obviously, people you are sharing your work with do not have to own this software. They only need it to interact with your project.

The customization features of the program is top-notch. The software offers so many powerful features, but it’s great to be able to sort and organize to your visual preference. For my needs, it is above and beyond exceeding my expectations. Do a comparison of your personal needs, and if you can live without 3D models, and 2D will work, this is a great deal, from a long-time trusted maker, with the best service.
