AutoCAD LT® 2006 software improves efficiency with full DWG file format compatibility, improved dimensioning, customizable tool palettes, and an enhanced user interface. Everyday tasks are streamlined with just one thing in mind—your productivity.
Number One in the 2D World
Drafting, publishing, and plotting have never been this efficient. AutoCAD LT® is the best-selling 2D drafting application in the world for many reasons. And with AutoCAD LT® 2006, those reasons are multiplied. It all adds up to increased productivity, and that means a better bottom line.
Efficient Everyday Drafting
Get more done in less time with productivity tools focused on the things you do every day.
- Streamlined Table Creation and Editing—Insert standard WYSWYG (what you see is what you get) tables with in-place editing. Save time and reduce errors by performing calculations in your tables.
- Improved Text Manipulation—Create and edit text in exactly the same way it will appear in the drawing. Apply style, font, and other text properties to characters and words in the text object.
- Better Hatching—Hatch multiple continuous boundaries with a single command and easily calculate both individual and cumulative hatch areas.
- Customized Tool Palettes—Store frequently used blocks and hatches in customized tool palettes. Automatically apply preassigned tool properties as you insert content, and drag predefined content from your drawings.
- Enhanced User Interface—Launch commands, read prompts, and enter values at the graphics cursor. Perform calculations and derive values from drawing entities with Quick Calculator, and dynamically highlight as you roll over objects.
- Efficient Dimensioning—Dimension the length of an arc and large radii curves, flip dimension arrows, and select varying dimension linetypes quickly and easily.
File Sharing Made Easy
Be more productive by efficiently sharing information electronically with team members for viewing, printing, marking up, or round-tripping design changes.
- Smart Publishing—
Publish intelligent design data to a single Autodesk® DWFª (Design Web Formatª) file often at one-tenth the size of other file formats. - Free Peek—
The free*, downloadable Autodesk® DWFª Viewer enables all team members to view DWF files that preserve design intent without requiring the original design application. - Mark It Up—
Easily coordinate projects throughout design review by replacing the paper process with markup and redlining functionality with Autodesk® DWFª Composer.
Simplified Plotting
Simplified plotting means efficient plotting through a streamlined plot user interface, which fits nicely into a streamlined design process.
- Enhanced User Interface—
Access the most frequently used plot controls, with all page setup controls in a single dialog box, and preview current plot settings applied to your drawing before you plot. - No Need to Wait for Plot Jobs—
Publish DWF files or plot to paper while continuing to work in the drawing editor with background plotting.
Features
No matter what phase of the 2D design process you're working in, AutoCAD LT® 2006 makes it more productive.
