Several new and improved 2D tools make drafting easier and more productive than ever.

Organize Content
Organize content within your drawing and your digital library. Separate objects onto layers to control screen displays and plotted outputs. Save time and standardize drawings by using blocks. Add dynamic properties to blocks to accommodate multiple sizes or views in a single block. Use Tool Palettes to quickly access frequently used content, such as blocks, hatches, and commands.

On-Screen Shortcuts
Quickly find your way around the screen with tools to locate commands, view all open drawings, and navigate between different areas in an open drawing. Optimize your work environment by tailoring the location and appearance of commands to meet your needs and company standards.

Take Full Command

File Format Compatibility
With AutoCAD LT 2010 software you can open DWG files received from colleagues and clients, regardless of the version of AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT software used to create them. Save your own work to a variety of file formats that are supported by previous versions of Autodesk products, as far back as R14-compatible DWG files and R12-compatible DXF files.

RESULT: Reduced risk of object display inconsistencies due to file format changes.

Attach PDF, DWF, DGN, and Image Files as Underlays
The External References palette now supports the use of PDF, DWF, DGN, and image files (JPG, TIF, etc.) as underlays in DWG files, in addition to the traditional DWG references. If the PDF or DWF file is vector-based, you can use object snaps to locate new objects relative to objects in the underlay.

RESULT: Increased security and flexibility when sharing files.

Streamlined User Interface
The ribbon user interface reduces the number of steps needed to reach commands, helping to increase your overall drafting productivity. The ribbon presents commands in a concise visual format and also responds to both active commands and object selection. Based on the command or object, it adjusts to show you the most appropriate tools for the task at hand. Quick View Layouts and Quick View Drawings provide fast and visual methods for activating a layout in an open drawing. The Quick Access toolbar provides constant one-click access to your most frequently used tools and commands.

RESULT: Less time spent locating commands and switching between open drawings.

The Layer Properties Manager has been converted to a palette, so that any changes you make are instantly applied to the drawing.

With Dynamic Blocks, you can modify a block's geometry without editing the block definition or erasing it and inserting a different block.

With True Color support, you can specify a color by HSL or RGB values, or choose from a variety of Pantone and RAL color books, making it easy to match colors in your drawing with real-world colors of actual materials.

Block and External Reference Tools
AutoCAD LT 2010 incorporates several block and external reference tools previously available only in AutoCAD software. With the Synchronize Attributes command, you can easily add or remove attributes from existing block definitions. The Enhanced Attribute Editor enables you to quickly change the properties of individual attributes, in addition to entering values. Externally referenced files of any format can be opened with a simple click of the mouse. Or, edit your DWG references in-place to make changes while continuing to view the host drawing's geometry. If you only need to show a portion of the referenced file, use the Clip External Reference command to hide the unwanted areas of the file.

RESULT: More control over your blocks and external references.

Intuitive Text and Tables
Significant improvements to text and tables enable you to create and edit them faster and with more flexibility. Tables can be easily split into columns to fit them into the available space. Spell checking is done automatically, and misspelled words are indicated with a dashed red underline. The Annotation Scaling feature automatically calculates text and dimension sizes, as well as block and hatch pattern scales, based on the drawing scale.

RESULT: Easier text editing and greater flexibility in the display of annotations.

Better Dimensions and Leaders
New options make it easy to control the display and format of all types of dimensions. This includes the ability to add jog lines, control the linetype of extension lines, and break extension lines around objects. With the introduction of multileaders, text and leader lines are now combined into one object, allowing for easy alignment, grouping of similar keynotes, and generating multiple leaders from one note.

RESULT: More intuitive dimensioning and annotating.

Improved Drafting Tools
Several new and improved 2D tools make drafting easier and more productive than ever. Hatch objects no longer need to be associated with a boundary for you to be able to modify their shape. The direction of lines, polylines, and splines can be reversed, providing more control over the display of special linetypes containing text or symbols. When rotating a viewport, you can choose whether the view shown will maintain its original orientation or rotate along with the viewport.

RESULT: Fewer steps needed to accomplish everyday drafting tasks.

Easier Layer Management
The Layer Properties Manager has been converted to a palette, so that any changes you make are instantly applied to the drawing. The same layer can now have different properties, such as color or linetype, in different viewports, enabling you to easily highlight specific information in each viewport. Layer management tools also let you select objects in the drawing to freeze, turn off, isolate, or lock their layer.

RESULT: Faster viewing of layer properties changes and clearer drawings with fewer layers.

Dynamic Blocks
The flexibility of Dynamic Blocks provides a powerful alternative to bloated block libraries containing multiple variations of similar block definitions. With Dynamic Blocks, you can modify a block's geometry without editing the block definition or erasing it and inserting a different block. The Block Editor environment provides a place to create or edit block definitions without affecting surrounding geometry. Use the Block Authoring tools to apply parameters and actions that turn a traditional block into a dynamic one. The new Test Block tool enables you to test the functions of your dynamic block without affecting the other instances of the block in the drawing.

RESULT: More efficient block libraries, featuring the advantages of regular blocks plus the flexibility of modification.

Additional AutoCAD Functionality
Several additional tools, previously available only in AutoCAD software, have been incorporated into AutoCAD LT 2010 software. Use the Align command to move, rotate, and scale objects to line up with other objects. With True Color support, you can specify a color by its Hue, Saturation, and Luminescence (HSL) or Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) values, or choose a color from a variety of Pantone and RAL color books, making it easy to match colors in your drawing with real-world colors of actual materials. Non-rectangular viewports are also supported, enabling you to create a viewport in any shape you need, either by drawing the outline or by converting an existing object to a viewport.

RESULT: More tools to enhance productivity.

What's New in AutoCAD LT
AutoCAD LT software makes all parts of the 2D design process more productive. From DWG native file format compatibility to dynamic blocks, to annotation scaling and table enhancements, daily tasks are simplified, helping you concentrate on the design instead of the toolset.

	Annotation Scaling 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, and then apply that scale to each object and specify its size, placement, and appearance based on the scale set for the viewport. In other words, annotation scale is now automated.		Layers per Viewport In AutoCAD LT 2008 the layer manager has been enhanced to allow users to specify color, line weight, linetype, or plot style as an override for an individual viewport. These overrides can be easily turned on or off as viewports are added or removed.
	Enhanced Tables Enhanced tables now give users the option to combine AutoCAD LT and Windows Excel tabular information into a single AutoCAD LT table. This table can be dynamically linked so that notifications appear in both AutoCAD LT and Excel as data is updated. Users can then select these notifications, allowing instant updating of information in either source document.		Text & Table Enhancements The enhanced MTEXT editor now provides the ability to specify the number of columns required and flows new text between those columns as users make edits. The space set between each column of text and the edge of the paper is also customizable. All of these variables can be adjusted to specific values in the dialog box, or adjusted interactively using the new multicolumn text grips.
	Multiple Leaders The new multiple leader panel on the dashboard has enhanced tools that automate the creation of multiple leaders and the orientation of the leaders (tail or content first) with the notes.

Efficient Everyday Drafting
Just because you perform certain tasks day in and day out doesn't mean they have to be tedious. AutoCAD LT streamlines day-to-day tasks by improving the functionality of the tools used to perform them.

	Create and edit Dynamic Blocks to save time and help standardize drawings by eliminating the need to redraw standard components again and again, and reduce your cumbersome block libraries in the process.		Use AutoCAD Layer Express Tools for layer management to dramatically increase your day-to-day drafting productivity.
	Create tables painlessly with a one-step process rather than manually drawing each line, and save time by performing calculations directly in your tables. When values are updated automatically, errors go down.		Manipulate text efficiently by viewing, sizing, and positioning text as you type. Adjust text appearance as needed using familiar tools common in other text-editing applications, and easily create multiline paragraphs and bulleted or numbered lists of notes with professional-quality formatting.
	Simplify hatching by creating multiple hatches without repetitious use of the Hatch command, easily place a hatch at your preferred origin point, and quickly calculate both individual and cumulative hatch areas.		Customize tool palettes so you save time by placing frequently used content in one place so you can quickly drag them into your designs.
	Seamlessly interface with your design data and keep your attention focused on your work as you enter command information and get immediate feedback at the graphics cursor.		Dimension with greater ease giving your dimensions exactly the linetype you prefer without exploding and editing them. Avoid time-consuming workarounds to dimension an arc, save time by automating the creation of a jogged dimension line, and flip an individual dimension arrow from inside to outside the dimension line and back.

Simplified Data Exchange
Save time and money by electronically sharing intelligent design data, allowing teams to review, print, mark up, and round-trip changes quickly, easily, and with fewer errors.

	Publish intelligent design data with DWF technology and save time by simplifying collaboration with your design team. At 1/10th the size of other file formats, DWF is the fastest, easiest way to communicate design information while helping to ensure secure and efficient sharing at any stage of the project lifecycle.		View and Mark up designs and easily coordinate projects throughout design review by replacing the paper process with review and round-tripping functionality in free* Autodesk Design Review software. Mark up drawings with comments, sketches, dimensions, text, and stamps before sending them on their way. Workflow is streamlined, fidelity is increased, and jobs are finished--faster.
	Use DWF as an underlay to share design information with other companies on a project. It's the perfect starting point for adding more information to the design.		Read/write to past versions of AutoCAD, increasing collaboration and the exchange of data with users of older versions of AutoCAD software.
	Export files in PDF format so customers who have standardized on Adobe PDF can view and print design files.

*This product is subject to the terms and conditions of the end-user license agreement that accompanies download of this software.

Painless Plotting
Simplified plotting helps you spend more time on design.

	Access the most frequently used plot controls all in one dialog box, and view a full preview showing how your plot will look once the drawing is plotted with an enhanced plot user interface.		Reduce time waiting for plot jobs and spend more time drafting with background plotting, which enables you to continue working in the drawing editor while AutoCAD LT software plots in the background.
	Stay on top of plot jobs by being notified when a plot job is completed.

Adjust text appearance as needed using familiar tools common in other text-editing applications, and easily create multiline paragraphs and bulleted or numbered lists of notes with professional-quality formatting.
	Simplify hatching by creating multiple hatches without repetitious use of the Hatch command, easily place a hatch at your preferred origin point, and quickly calculate both individual and cumulative hatch areas.		Customize tool palettes so you save time by placing frequently used content in one place so you can quickly drag them into your designs.
	Seamlessly interface with your design data and keep your attention focused on your work as you enter command information and get immediate feedback at the graphics cursor.		Dimension with greater ease giving your dimensions exactly the linetype you prefer without exploding and editing them. Avoid time-consuming workarounds to dimension an arc, save time by automating the creation of a jogged dimension line, and flip an individual dimension arrow from inside to outside the dimension line and back.

Simplified Data Exchange
Save time and money by electronically sharing intelligent design data, allowing teams to review, print, mark up, and round-trip changes quickly, easily, and with fewer errors.

	Publish intelligent design data with DWF technology and save time by simplifying collaboration with your design team. At 1/10th the size of other file formats, DWF is the fastest, easiest way to communicate design information while helping to ensure secure and efficient sharing at any stage of the project lifecycle.		View and Mark up designs and easily coordinate projects throughout design review by replacing the paper process with review and round-tripping functionality in free* Autodesk Design Review software. Mark up drawings with comments, sketches, dimensions, text, and stamps before sending them on their way. Workflow is streamlined, fidelity is increased, and jobs are finished--faster.
	Use DWF as an underlay to share design information with other companies on a project. It's the perfect starting point for adding more information to the design.		Read/write to past versions of AutoCAD, increasing collaboration and the exchange of data with users of older versions of AutoCAD software.
	Export files in PDF format so customers who have standardized on Adobe PDF can view and print design files.

Painless Plotting
Simplified plotting helps you spend more time on design.

	Access the most frequently used plot controls all in one dialog box, and view a full preview showing how your plot will look once the drawing is plotted with an enhanced plot user interface.		Reduce time waiting for plot jobs and spend more time drafting with background plotting, which enables you to continue working in the drawing editor while AutoCAD LT software plots in the background.
	Stay on top of plot jobs by being notified when a plot job is completed.

What's New in AutoCAD LT
AutoCAD LT software makes all parts of the 2D design process more productive. From DWG native file format compatibility to dynamic blocks, to annotation scaling and table enhancements, daily tasks are simplified, helping you concentrate on the design instead of the toolset.

	Annotation Scaling 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, and then apply that scale to each object and specify its size, placement, and appearance based on the scale set for the viewport. In other words, annotation scale is now automated.		Layers per Viewport In AutoCAD LT 2008 the layer manager has been enhanced to allow users to specify color, line weight, linetype, or plot style as an override for an individual viewport. These overrides can be easily turned on or off as viewports are added or removed.
	Enhanced Tables Enhanced tables now give users the option to combine AutoCAD LT and Windows Excel tabular information into a single AutoCAD LT table. This table can be dynamically linked so that notifications appear in both AutoCAD LT and Excel as data is updated. Users can then select these notifications, allowing instant updating of information in either source document.		Text & Table Enhancements The enhanced MTEXT editor now provides the ability to specify the number of columns required and flows new text between those columns as users make edits. The space set between each column of text and the edge of the paper is also customizable. All of these variables can be adjusted to specific values in the dialog box, or adjusted interactively using the new multicolumn text grips.
	Multiple Leaders The new multiple leader panel on the dashboard has enhanced tools that automate the creation of multiple leaders and the orientation of the leaders (tail or content first) with the notes.

Efficient Everyday Drafting
Just because you perform certain tasks day in and day out doesn't mean they have to be tedious. AutoCAD LT streamlines day-to-day tasks by improving the functionality of the tools used to perform them.

	Create and edit Dynamic Blocks to save time and help standardize drawings by eliminating the need to redraw standard components again and again, and reduce your cumbersome block libraries in the process.		Use AutoCAD Layer Express Tools for layer management to dramatically increase your day-to-day drafting productivity.
	Create tables painlessly with a one-step process rather than manually drawing each line, and save time by performing calculations directly in your tables. When values are updated automatically, errors go down.		Manipulate text efficiently by viewing, sizing, and positioning text as you type. Adjust text appearance as needed using familiar tools common in other text-editing applications, and easily create multiline paragraphs and bulleted or numbered lists of notes with professional-quality formatting.
	Simplify hatching by creating multiple hatches without repetitious use of the Hatch command, easily place a hatch at your preferred origin point, and quickly calculate both individual and cumulative hatch areas.		Customize tool palettes so you save time by placing frequently used content in one place so you can quickly drag them into your designs.
	Seamlessly interface with your design data and keep your attention focused on your work as you enter command information and get immediate feedback at the graphics cursor.		Dimension with greater ease giving your dimensions exactly the linetype you prefer without exploding and editing them. Avoid time-consuming workarounds to dimension an arc, save time by automating the creation of a jogged dimension line, and flip an individual dimension arrow from inside to outside the dimension line and back.
