    1 Improved Drating ToolsContinual enhancements to D tools in AutoCAD LTsotware help make drating easier and more productive.In AutoCAD LT , new grips or polyline and hatch edit

    ing enable you to more easily add or remove vertices or

    convert line segments to arcs, and vice versa. A new Hatch

    contextual user interace enables you to change a hatchs

    scale, angle, or origin on the y. Text in linetypes always

    stays readable, regardless o the lines direction. When

    rotating a viewport, you can use one command to choose

    whether the view shown will maintain its original orienta

    tion or rotate along with the viewport.

    RESULT: Fewer steps needed to accomplish everyday drat-

    ing tasks.

    2 Better Communication o Design IntentPublish highquality PDFs directly rom AutoCAD LT toeasily share inormation. Objects and layers in AutoCAD

    LT can be made transparent, so you can see through

    them. Transparency aects both plotting and onscreen

    appearance, giving you more options or identiying

    phases o work, highlighting areas o a drawing, and more.

    The new Hide and Isolate Objects tools enable you to

    display only the objects you need, regardless o their layer.

    RESULT: Greater control over a drawings on-screen and

    plotted appearance and high-quality PDF output or more

    eective communication and sharing.

    3 Windows CertifcationAutoCAD LT is the rst AutoCAD LT version to beMicrosot Windows certied. Upgrade your hardware

    and operating system with the knowledge that both

    bit and 64bit versions o AutoCAD LT sotware

    are compatible withand are supported onall avail

    able Microsot operating systems, including Windows ,

    Windows Vista, and Windows XP.

    RESULT: Take advantage o the latest version o the popular

    Windows operating system.

    4Additional AutoCAD Functionality

    Several tools previously available only in AutoCAD sotware are accessible in AutoCAD LT sotware. In AutoCAD

    LT , the new Quick Dimension tool enables you to

    more easily create a series o dimensions or selected

    objects. Create irregular boundaries or trace over objects

    with the Sketch command. Add colors and patterns to

    your drawings with gradient lls. Use the Align command

    to move, rotate, and scale objects to line up with other

    objects. Nonrectangular viewports are also supported,

    enabling you to create a viewport in any shape you need.

    RESULT: More tools to enhance productivity.

    5 File Format CompatibilityAutoCAD LT sotware enables you to open DWG les received rom colleagues andclients, regardless o the version o AutoCAD sotware used to create them. Save your

    own work to a variety o le ormats, as ar back as R4compatible DWG les and R

    compatible DXF les.

    RESULT: Reduced risk o object incompatibilities due to le ormat changes.

    6 Powerul External Reerence ToolsThe External Reerences palette supports the use o PDF, DWF, DGN, and image les(JPG, TIF, etc.) as underlays in DWG les, in addition to the traditional DWG reerences.

    Use object snaps with vectorbased PDF or DWG les to locate new objects relative togeometry in the underlay. Open externally reerenced les o any ormat with a simple

    mouse click, or edit DWG reerences inplace to make changes while continuing to view

    the host drawings geometry. Use the Clip External Reerence command to show only

    the relevant portions o a reerenced le.

    RESULT: Increased control and exibility when sharing les.

    7 Dynamic BlocksThe exibility o Dynamic Blocks provides a powerul alternative to bloated block libraries containing multiple variations o similar block denitions. Dynamic Blocks enable

    you to modiy a blocks geometry without editing the block denition or erasing it and

    inserting a dierent block. With the Synchronize Attributes command, you can easily

    add or remove attributes rom existing block denitions.

    RESULT: More efcient block libraries, eaturing the advantages o regular blocks plus the

    exibility o multiple shapes and sizes.

    8 Flexible Annotation ToolsSignicant improvements in recent releases o AutoCAD LT to text, dimensions,multileader, and tables enable you to create and edit annotations aster and with more

    exibility. Tables can be easily split into columns to t into the available space. Mis

    spelled words are automatically indicated with a dashed red underline. Add jog lines to

    dimensions, control the linetype o extension lines, and break extension lines around

    objects. Use multileaders to align notes, group similar keynotes, and associate multiple

    leader lines with one symbol or note. The Annotation Scaling eature automatically

    calculates text and dimension sizes, as well as block and hatch pattern scales, based on

    the drawing scale.

    RESULT: Easier, more intuitive dimensioning and text editing, and greater control over the

    display o annotations.

    9 Better Layer ManagementModications you make in the Layer Properties Manager are instantly applied to thedrawing, enabling you to immediately see the eects o your changes. The same layer

    can have dierent properties, such as color or linetype, in dierent viewports, so you

    can easily highlight specic inormation in each viewport. Layer management tools also

    let you select objects in the drawing in order to reeze, turn o, isolate, or lock their

    layer.

    RESULT: Faster viewing o layer properties changes and clearer drawings with ewer layers.

    10 Streamlined User Interace and Online HelpThe AutoCAD LT user interace helps increase drating productivity by presenting commands in a concise visual ormat that responds to both active commands and object selection. Quick View Layouts and Quick View Drawings provide ast and visual methods

    or activating a layout in an open drawing. The Quick Access toolbar provides constant

    oneclick access to requently used tools and commands. The new Online Help system

    in AutoCAD LT includes access to regularly updated content. You can link rom

    a help topic directly to related inormation in the online AutoCAD Knowledge Base,

    discussion groups, and the AutoCAD Exchange community site to save time searching

    and navigating.

    RESULT: Less time spent locating commands and switching between open drawings. Im-

    proved access to the most up-to-date help and support inormation.
