Professional CAD software can be expensive, while many drafting projects only require precise 2D tools. Autodesk AutoCAD LT is currently offered as a one-year subscription for $199, compared with its regular price of $540.
AutoCAD LT is designed for work such as floor plans, construction documents, and electrical diagrams. Drawings can be saved as DWG files, allowing clients and contractors to open them without first converting the format.
The software includes features intended to reduce repetitive work. Smart Blocks can turn recurring objects into reusable blocks, while AutoLISP can automate frequently performed tasks.
For collaboration and review, DWG Compare identifies additions, deletions, and other changes made to a drawing. Files can also sync through Autodesk Docs and other cloud storage services, making them accessible on Windows, macOS, the web, or a mobile device.
The subscription is available to both new and existing Autodesk users. The one-year AutoCAD LT offer is priced at $199.
