Dramatically boost productivity with AutoCAD LT® 2009 software, the world’s best-selling 2D drafting and detailing product.

With this release, Autodesk introduces a user interface design that is both customizable and extensible. AutoCAD LT® 2009 software helps you accelerate routine tasks, make uncommon commands easier to find, and bring new users up to speed quickly.

The new ribbon interface helps increase overall drafting productivity by decreasing the number of steps required to reach a command. The ribbon interface presents command options in a concise visual format so you can quickly select commands based on the work you are doing. Moving between applications is now quick and intuitive.

The new SteeringWheels™ tool provides quick access to the Pan, Center, and Zoom commands.

The menu browser interface enables 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 easily customizable Quick Properties menu helps increase productivity by reducing the steps to access properties information, optimizing information presented for that particular user and project.

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. Columns in the dialog can be individually resized so the contents of that column or its title are not truncated.

View, size, and position text as you type. Adjust text appearance using familiar tools common to other applications, and create paragraphs and lists with professional-quality formatting.

The Multiple Leaders Align tool enables you to quickly align a set of leaders with full control of the spacing between leaders.

Electronically publish and distribute drawing sets in a single DWF™ file for fast, secure collaboration with team members, or export designs in PDF format.

By using Autodesk® Design Review software, the free* integrated solution to electronically view, mark up, and revise designs, you can give virtually anyone, anywhere the opportunity to participate in the review process.
