Students learning AutoCAD LT could wonder how different it is from regular AutoCAD. For most 2D drawing applications, the answer is “not much different at all.” The AutoCAD LT lacks some of the high-end features of its parent program, notably AutoLISP programming capability and 3D solid modeling. For the great majority of users, however, LT will appear every bit as powerful and sophisticated as AutoCAD itself. Consequently, learning AutoCAD LT is just as big a challenge as learning AutoCAD.

The objective of Introduction to AutoCAD LT 2007 is to make the student familiar with the basic concepts and techniques of 2D drawing in AutoCAD LT. Not every drawing or editing command is presented but enough key tools are covered that the student will gain a solid grasp of how the program works and be able to create a basic 2D drawing.
