ActCAD Software vs. AutoCAD LT

Some dimensions move for no apparent reason. 3d modeling could be improved upon. As a 2D program I use it daily and prefer it to 3D modeling programs for drawing details.

AutoCAD LT is suitable for engineers that uses DWG formats casually and don't rely on AutoCAD as the main tool to issue drawings in the workflow. AutoCAD LT is best suited for firms that do not use LISP functions in AutoCAD and do not care about 3D modeling. Although AutoCAD LT has other missing functions when compared to standard AutoCAD, these features are of less importance and can't be noticed.

• This is one of the most complete packages that I've used, very intuitive, thus saying user-friendly is somewhat on the mild side, as it is a pleasure to use
• Functionality is straightforward and all pertinent information are right on the screen
• Its ease-of-use cuts down on documentation time thus allowing me to spend more time where it's really needed

• The library feature for all areas is to me AutoCAD LT's extra strong point, it makes it easier to find information within the program itself.
• The fast solutions and precise development of drawings and projects is also another strong point.
• I use the floor plans, elevations, sections and the hydraulic designs to work with my students on physics projects.
• The software allows you to scale model and remodel as many times as you need, from simple to more complex designs
• Importing and exporting files is also very simple to perform making corrections and quick feedback to students easy.

• My major complaint is sometimes the dimensions do not stay where I place them.
• 3D modeling is complicated for me.
• Need to specify wall types and be able to create custom walls.
• Need to have a roof manager to make trusses or hand-stack framing.

• The differences between the Mac and PC versions are quite difficult to navigate. It would be better to have a more streamlined experience between the two platforms
• It would be nice to have feature like geolocation on the online or mac version and not just the PC version
• Make it more compatible with other AutoCAD formats so that I can at least view things when they are coming from Civil 3D

It’s easy to use, easy to customize, easy to understand on the logic behind it and the guides provides everything to improve further. the buttons are well displaced and easy to use and remember. everything seems really well fought to make it easier to use. in a single word: polished.

It's the best alternative to cost-prohibitive CAD software.

Although AutoCAD LT is the lite software when compared to standard AutoCAD, it does all the work when it comes to 2D modeling and issuing design drawings. When comparing it to BricsCAD, AutoCAD LT shines, as it works without freezing and is usually more responsive than BricsCAD, it just outclasses it.

• Its ease-of-use allows me more time to focus on project needs and completion

• The impact is always positive in my case when I use AutoCAD LT, because I provide intelligent lessons with few resources
• The negative impact usually happens with professionals who don't like to innovate, study, or put a little more effort into their work. AutoCAD LT enables the enchantment at the end of the project by the public and at the beginning by the students that are delighted with so many tools
