Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2018

Create your 2D designs with precision and best-in-class documentation features.

Architects, engineers, and construction professionals use AutoCAD LT to:

• Design, draft, and document with precise 2D geometry
• Access a comprehensive set of editing, design, and annotation tools
• Streamline your work by customizing your interface and automating your workflows with AutoLISP

Key features

• Views and Viewports - You can now easily create, retrieve, and place model views together with automatically sized and scaled layout viewports onto the current layout. When selected, layout viewport objects display two additional grips, one for moving the viewport, and the other for setting the display scale from a list of commonly used scales.
• High resolution (4K) monitor support - Support for high resolution monitors continues to be improved in the AutoCAD 2018.1 Update. More than 200 dialog boxes and other User Interface elements have been updated to ensure a quality viewing experience on high-resolution (4K) displays. Examples include the Edit Layer State and Insert Table dialog boxes as well as the Visual LISP editor.
• Cyber Security - Potential security exploits are continuously being researched, identified, and closed. Significant Autodesk engineering resources are invested in response to increased activity by cyber criminals and foreign intelligence services. Due to persistent and accelerating cyber security threats, the AutoCAD Security feature team strongly recommends that you install all AutoCAD-based product updates as they become available.
• Xref Layer Property Enhancements - To provide more flexibility for controlling xref overrides, the Layer Settings dialog box, which is accessed from the Layer Properties Manager, includes new controls for managing Xref layer properties. When the option to retain overrides to xref layer properties is turned on with the VISRETAIN system variable, you can now specify which xref layer properties that you want to reload. The various layer property options are stored in the registry as specified by the new VISRETAINMODE system variable. The Layer Properties Manager also includes a new status icon to indicate when a layer associated with an xref includes overrides.
