AutoCAD LT 2010 Upgrades

"Simplified" Pricing
 • From 16th March 2010, Autodesk will introduce a new, streamlined upgrade pricing model that changes how Autodesk prices upgrades, cross-grades, and retroactive Subscription fees.


• After 16th March 2010, upgrade and cross-grade prices and retroactive Subscription fees from the three previous software releases will be priced at 50% of a full licence, no matter which release you are using today.


• This change will not affect current Subscription customers, but customers without Subscription.

 

No matter which version of AutoCAD LT® software you’re using, upgrading helps you make the most of your time.


The 2010 version of AutoCAD LT is better than ever.

AutoCAD LT® 2010 2D CAD software gives you even more of the tools and commands you need to work accurately and efficiently.  No matter which version of AutoCAD LT you’re using, upgrading to the latest version helps you make the most of your design—and your design data.

Top 5 Reasons to Upgrade to AutoCAD LT 2010

  1. Support for importing PDF files as underlays
  2. Improved PDF output
  3. Align command
  4. Full range of Block Attribute commands
  5. Full range of xref (External Reference) commands

What’s New

AutoCAD LT® 2D drafting and drawing software is already known for its efficiency, power, and reliability. But now it‘s better than ever.

With AutoCAD LT 2010 software, we’ve added more of the 2D tools you’ve been asking for, like Align, Xref, and Block Attribute commands. High-quality PDF output means you can easily share 2D drawings with anyone. And you can save time by attaching PDFs as an underlay in drawing files. The professional choice in drafting and detailing software now has even more ways to increase your productivity.

PDF Output Enhancements

Now you can publish PDFs directly from AutoCAD LT 2D software, enabling you to easily share files and communicate with others in this widely used electronic information exchange format. PDFs offer improved visual quality of the font and line weight, and now, it’s even possible to highlight, search, and copy text.

Exporting text as TrueType fonts further reduces the file size. The enhanced PDF driver includes data from layers that are turned on and thawed when the plot is created. Once plotting is complete, the PDF automatically appears.

PDF Input/Underlay Support

Make PDFs work for you. Take advantage of this common document publishing format by inserting PDFs that you can snap to as underlays in drawings. Benefit from the increased efficiency and accuracy gained from being able to insert a PDF with nearly full fidelity.

2D Drafting Tools from AutoCAD

Your wishes are our new commands. AutoCAD LT now enables easier and more productive drafting with Align, Xref, and Block Attribute commands.

  • Align—The Align command enables you to pick points that will be used to move, scale, and/or rotate an object to bring it into alignment with another object.

  • Xref—In-Place Reference Editing (REFEDIT) enables you to make changes directly to a referenced file without opening it. Use REFEDIT on block references when you want to modify a block and still see its surrounding geometry. Related to REFEDIT is XOPEN, which enables you to right-click on an xref and open it directly from the drawing editor or the External References Palette. With these tools, you won't have to list an xref to find out its name and browse for the file again.

  • XCLIP—Finally, the ability to clip an external reference is now fully functional in AutoCAD LT 2010. Use XCLIP to create your own clipping boundaries, turn them on or off, and even invert them.

  • Block Attribute Commands—AutoCAD LT 2010 makes it easier than ever to manage block definitions containing attributes.

  • Synchronise Attributes (ATTSYNC)—Synchronize Attributes is now a core command. Now, when you add or remove attribute definitions from blocks, you can update all instances of that block to reflect the new attributes.

  • Enhanced Attribute Editor—The Enhanced Attribute Editor has also made its way into AutoCAD LT 2010. Use this tool to quickly change properties of individual attributes in addition to entering values.

Additional 2D Drafting Commands

Draft with more options and controls for viewing and editing your 2D drawings. AutoCAD LT now allows you to fade the display intensity of xrefs and has new intuitive measurement tools, new viewport rotation options, and multileader improvements. So routine, time-consuming tasks won’t slow you down.

Announcement of AutoCAD LT 2007 Product Family Retirement

On March 15, 2010, Autodesk will ‘retire’ the AutoCAD 2007 based product families. It means that Autodesk will stop selling upgrades and cross-grades from the 2007 products. The upgrade and cross-upgrade path will no longer be available and Autodesk will no longer provide technical support (except for existing maintenance patches that are downloadable from Autodesk’s web site).
