Chose AutoCAD LT
I have not used any other drafting programs like AutoCAD LT but we used to create potential site layouts on adobe InDesign. we had to create a scale and manually calculate everything to fit on a paper. This took hours. With AutoCAD, we get to work in real scale and can import …
Chose AutoCAD LT
We used for a period Siemens 2D free cad.
while it have some things interesting, the learning curve was harder.
the interface was not easier like AutoCAD LT.
Chose AutoCAD LT
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 …
Chose AutoCAD LT
AutoCAD LT can be used by non-engineers, but free programs are usually for professionals.
And other software started to introduce some tools that only AutoCAD LT had, so why waste time looking for what is fully found in AutoCAD LT.

Cons
  • Incremental savings (if possible) because autosave on big drawings took time to get done because it saves the whole file
  • Some custom macros that I made should be made standard (like infinite horizontal or vertical lines)

Usability
For being a light version of the program it has a ton of functionality and features. I found the system fairly easy to learn how to use once I took an intro course on it. Overall i think the usability is great and it was easy to jump right in and get working in the program

Return on Investment
  • We have been able to looks at CAD files that ordinarily we would not have been able to open. Giving us more control over our projects
  • We are now able to create very accurate draft designs that save us and our engineering/architecture team valuable time in drafting.
  • We can create our own plan sheets for when it is something that does not require a stamp. This saves us time and money.
