Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2011

AutoCAD LT 2D drafting and detailing software is the professional, comprehensive set of tools enables users to accurately and efficiently create, document, and share drawings. Creating in the genuine DWGTM file format provides stability and compatibility when you communicate with clients and colleagues. Optimize the software for the way you work. Packed with powerful features, AutoCAD LT is built for professional drafting.

AutoCAD LT software is a leader in 2D drafting productivity and data reliability. New features in AutoCAD LT 2011 bring more options for precise control of 2D drawings. Improve the appearance of your drawings with transparent objects and layers, and manage object visibility by hiding or isolating objects, independent of layer. Create and edit hatches quicker with easier access to hatch tools. New multifunctional grips for polylines provide valuable flexibility and control during editing.

Features:

Annotate 2D drawings
Complete 2D drawings with annotations such as text, dimensions, and hatches. Text tools include formatting options: in-place spell checking, and fields that display referenced object and drawing properties. Mutlileaders enable user to add notes and callouts to specific objects. Intelligent dimensions display distances, angles, and arc lengths. Use hatches in a variety of patterns and fills to highlight important areas in your drawing.

Asset Locator
The Autodesk Asset Locator tool helps user manage software licenses by identifying Autodesk® software product names, locations, versions, languages, serial numbers, etc.

External Reference Highlighting
New highlighting helps identify external references by selecting the corresponding item in the External References palette when you select an external reference object in a 2D drawing. File references selected in the palette are highlighted in the drawing.

Updated grid display
The grid display has horizontal and vertical gridlines that more closely represents engineering graph paper.

Hatch Command Enhancements
Access the Hatch command easily through a contextual user interface, similar to the tabs for Tables and Multiline Text. Expanded object grip functionality enables direct editing of a hatch’s scale, rotation, and origin. Additional options for controlling the appearance of hatches include transparency, background colors, and gradient fills. A single command sets hatches to appear behind all other objects.

Hide or Isolate Objects
Use the Hide Objects and Isolate Objects tools to control objects’ visibility regardless of layer. Combine functions to isolate some objects and hide some of those that remain.

DesignCenter
DesignCenter™ enables user to access drawings, blocks, layers, and other content on user's computer, company’s network, or the Internet. Drag-and-drop the items you find into your current drawing.

Drawing Tools
Use standard shapes such as lines, polygons, arcs, circles, and ellipses, to create simple or complex 2D drawings.

Dynamic Blocks
Blocks are named groups of objects that act as a single object. Blocks are useful for creating repeated content, such as drawing symbols or standard components. Use the blocks provided with AutoCAD LT 2D drafting software, or create your own. Adding attributes or dynamic properties to blocks enables them to accommodate different text strings, shapes, or sizes.
