Dramatically increase productivity with AutoCAD LT software, the world's number-one-selling 2D drafting and detailing product. AutoCAD LT is a powerful solution for designers who need full DWG native file format compatibility without 3D capabilities or advanced customization. Increase efficiency with an updated user interface that not only accelerates routine tasks, but also makes commands easier to find, helping new users become productive as quickly as possible. Working with layers is now easer than ever. Move to new highs of productivity with AutoCAD LT software.

Across-the-board improvements ensure routine, time-consuming tasks won't slow you down.

The ribbon interface increases overall drafting productivity by decreasing the number of steps to reach a command. The ribbon interface presents command options in a concise visual format, allowing you to quickly select commands based on the work you're doing.

Reviewing and working with several files is no longer a tedious and time-consuming process. The new menu browser interface allows you to browse files and examine thumbnail images and provides detailed information about file size and file creator. Plus you can organize recently used files by name, date, or title.

The new layer dialog makes creating and editing layer properties faster and less prone to error. Changes are instantly reflected in the drawing as they are made in the dialog. Manipulation of the dialog box is simplified, and columns in the dialog can be individually resized so the contents of that column or its title are not truncated. You can fix individual columns in place so that the rest of the columns can be scrolled through and referenced to a fixed column such as the layer name.

The easily customizable quick properties menu increases productivity by reducing the steps to access properties information, ensuring that the information presented is optimized for you and your project.

The quick view feature uses thumbnails instead of file names, so you can open the correct drawing file and layout faster.

Manipulate text efficiently by viewing, sizing, and positioning text as you type.

• Adjust text appearance as needed using familiar tools common in text-editing applications, and easily create multiline paragraphs and bulleted or numbered lists of notes with professional-quality formatting.
• Use the MTEXT editor to specify the number of columns required, and quickly flow new text between those columns as you make edits.
• Customize the space between each column of text and the edge of the paper with a simple click of the mouse.
• Adjust all of these variables to specific values using the dialog box or the new multicolumn text grips.

Annotation scale is now automated. AutoCAD LT 2008 introduces the concept of annotation scale as an object property. Designers can set the current scale of a viewport or model space view, then apply that scale to each object and specify its size, placement, and appearance based on the scale set for the viewport.

Use the multiple leaders panel on the dashboard, with its enhanced tools, to automate the creation of multiple leaders and adjust their orientation (tail or content first) with the notes.

Save time and standardize drawings by eliminating the need to redraw repetitive standard componentsÑand reduce your cumbersome block libraries in the process.
