AutoCAD LT 2008 Overview
Productivity Delivered Daily
AutoCAD LT® 2008 software is pushing drafting
further than it’s ever been. The world’s number one–selling 2D drafting
product is equipped with native DWG file format compatibility, Dynamic
Blocks, integration of the popular layer management Express Tools, and
powerful drafting enhancements. Day-to-day tasks are streamlined with
just one thing in mind—boosting your productivity.
Efficient Everyday Drafting
Get more done in less time with productivity
tools focused on the things you do every day:
- Dynamic Blocks—Access
multiple variations on a single block, dramatically reduce
cumbersome block libraries, and modify block geometry during and
after insertion.
- Streamlined table creation
and editing—Insert standard WYSIWYG (what
you see is what you get) tables with in-place editing, and save time
and reduce errors by performing calculations in your tables.
- Layer Express Tools—Increase
day-to-day productivity by using the popular AutoCAD Express Tools
for layer management.
- Improved text manipulation—Create
and edit text in exactly the same way it will appear in the drawing,
and apply style, font, and other text properties to characters and
words in the text object.
- Better hatching—Hatch
multiple continuous boundaries with a single command and easily
calculate both individual and cumulative hatch areas.
- Customised tool palettes—Store
frequently used blocks and hatches in customised tool palettes,
automatically apply preassigned tool properties as you insert
content, and drag predefined content from your drawings
- Enhanced user interface—Launch
commands, read prompts, and enter values right at the graphics
cursor. Perform calculations and derive values from drawing entities
with Quick Calc, and select objects easier with dynamic
highlighting.
- Efficient dimensioning—Dimension
the length of an arc and large radii curves, flip dimension arrows,
and select varying dimension linetypes quickly and easily.

Simplified Data
Exchange
Be more productive by efficiently sharing
information electronically with team members for viewing, printing,
marking up, or round-tripping design changes.
- Smart publishing—Publish
intelligent design data to a single DWF™ file at 1/10th the size of
other file formats.
- PDF creation—Export
drawing files in Adobe® PDF format.
- DWF as an underlay—Import
a DWF file and use it as a transparent “underlay” that serves as a
starting point for adding new information.
- Read/write to past versions
of AutoCAD—Collaborate and exchange data
with users on older versions of AutoCAD software.
