AutoCAD LT
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.

PTC Creo is great for assemblies that multiple users are collaborating on. Models can reference other models that someone in another department has released and when those models are changed, the referenced parts and assemblies are changed. These changes are very helpful when working on collaborative machine designs and comparing forging dies with the final parts.

Pros
AutoCAD LT
- 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.

PTC Creo
- PTC Creo contains many advanced tools with better optimization for creating part models and other production related drawings.
- The initial concept designs can be done more adequately.
- The parameters of 2D drawings can be changed easily by editing the 3D model.
- The productivity can be increased by customized tools for modeling.

Cons
AutoCAD LT
- All individual lines are to be made a polyline to perform actions like Hatching, filling, etc which is very hectic. - Wish need not make it in the future.

- PTC Creo could grow a help-line staff of highly experienced individuals to aid the existing knowledge base article searchers. It would include experts with deep knowledge of certain Creo modules (SMEs) and provide help staff a go to for deeper levels of help when it is needed.

I liked the training manuals I used to learn some, as I didn’t have CAD background in college or before this job. My coworkers were able to share with me what they learned in PTC training and I was able to get support online and through reading.

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 BricsCAD, it just outclasses it.

Learning curve of SOLIDWORKS is higher compared to Creo, however, stability and more design control is provided by Creo. Creo also have more robust and stable interfaces. For larger assemblies, Creo works better than SOLIDWORKS. New upgrades of Creo has given liberty to open different file data of different software without any file conversion. Creo costs comparable to SOLIDWORKS cost, with more capabilities.

AutoCAD LT
- 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

- Creo is our standard design package and as such we have had a negative impact on time spent designing because it is less user-friendly.
- In difficult design situations, we have had a positive impact because Creo is better suited for complex designs.
