- 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.

- 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

-
- * 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.
-
