AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT File Compatibility

AutoCAD Release 14 and AutoCAD LT 97 share a common drawing format: you can open AutoCAD Release 14 drawings in AutoCAD LT 97 and vice versa. You do not need to perform a conversion to preserve the data. You can use AutoCAD LT to edit, but not create, three-dimensional meshes, 3D faces, and other 3D objects. When you reopen the drawing in AutoCAD, the changes are preserved. Similarly, changes made to an AutoCAD LT 97 drawing with AutoCAD Release 14 are preserved when you reopen that drawing in AutoCAD LT 97.
