Simplify and automate the process of selecting drawing units, limits, and visual drawing aids with Quick Setup. Choose from predefined borders and title blocks with Custom Setup, or add your own custom title block to match company standards. * Title Blocks. Begin a drawing using one of 12 supplied industry standard ANSI or ISO borders and title blocks. * Tooltips. Move the mouse cursor to an icon and its function appears. Direct Distance Entry. Move the mouse in the direction you want a line to go, enter the correct distance directly from the keyboard, and the line appears. * Cue Cards and On-Line Help. Access detailed step-by-step procedures from On-line Help. Press F1 at any time and consult On-line Help for the command or pull-down menu currently in use. * On-Line Orientation. Grasp the connection between CAD and paper-based drafting to ease your transition to AutoCAD LT. Learn to automate common drafting tasks in CAD with greater ease and precision than ever before. * User's Guide. New, enlarged AutoCAD LT User's Guide includes more helpful hints. In addition to describing exactly what each command will do, the User's Guide takes you through the drafting process, from setting up a drawing to scaling the output for final plotting. * Tracking. Precisely locate new points relative to existing points without drawing construction lines. Use multiple tracking points in succession be-fore continuing the current command. * DIVIDE and MEASURE commands. Divide lines and arcs into equal segments; place points or objects along lines, arcs, and circles at equal increments. Place points or objects at fixed increments along a line, arc, or circle with the MEASURE command. * Associative Hatching. Select from among 52 patterns, point to an enclosed area, and click to fill automatically. Islands and text within the outer boundary are detected automatically. As area boundaries change, hatching updates automatically. * Entity Modification. Quickly change location, size, and properties of lines, circles, arcs, points, polylines, text, blocks, attributes, and solids with simple dialog-box selections. * AutoCAD Commands and User Interface. Use the same commands as in AutoCAD and a user interface similar to that in AutoCAD Release 12 for Windows. Access a worldwide resource of trained AutoCAD users, as needed, and prepare to move up to AutoCAD software. * 3D CAD Tools. Use 3D extrusions, 3D line creation, hidden line removal and shading; view 3D drawings in .DWG format to validate designs and prepare for customer presentations. * Customization and Macro Support. Easily modify toolbar, toolbox icons, and menus, and create command scripts to automate repetitive tasks, save time, and increase productivity. * Object Linking and Embedding (OLE). Link or embed AutoCAD LT drawings into other Windows applications, like Microsoftr Word for Windows or Excel, to ensure that your reports and presentations always include up-to-date drawings. * Clipboard Support.

Output AutoCAD LT drawings in a variety of standards-.BMP, .GIF, .PCX, and .TIFF-for use with other graphics or desktop publishing packages, while controlling format, resolution, and color depth. * Aerial View. Open a separate window within the AutoCAD LT screen to display the global view or quickly pan or zoom to any area on a drawing, even during a command. * Customizable Toolbox. Choose from four different modes-floating, flush right, flush left, or off. Completely user-definable, the Toolbox speeds access to drawing and editing tools. * Time-and-Date Stamp. Automatically affix user name, file name, time, and date to your drawing; automatically update this information when you choose. * Customizable Toolbar. Modify unused buttons, resize them for easy viewing at high resolution, and customize AutoCAD LT for your specific needs and quick execution of frequently used commands. * Alternate Menus. Quickly and easily change menus without having to restart the program. * Faster Printing. New printer driver speeds printing and plotting to most PostScriptr and desktop Windows printers and plotters by over 100 percent. And AutoCAD LT now fully supports HPGL plotters. * Enhanced Graphics Performance. New display driver and aerial view window speed graphics performance and add dynamic capabilities to save time when changing views, redrawing, panning, and zooming. * Network Versatility. Users on different workstations can access a server-based copy of AutoCAD LT while maintaining individual configuration and preference files that specify window colors, fonts, size and position, toolbar and toolbox configurations, and list of last four files opened.
