AutoCAD LT 2012

AutoCAD LT drafting and detailing software is the professional choice for data compatibility, reliability, and productivity. With AutoCAD LT 2012, incremental improvements add up to bigger productivity gains. New and enhanced 2D tools like associative array, multifunctional grips, and transparency and gradient hatch patterns provide greater control and efficiency. Improved PDF and DGN input and output tools, along with new AutoCAD WS for web and mobile sharing, enable powerful collaboration. The addition of AutoCAD features such as the Sheet Set Manager, Quick Dimension tool, Sketch and Align gives you more tools to enhance your productivity. Improved interface responsiveness and faster performance bring it all together in AutoCAD LT 2012

NEW! Associative Arrays
Save valuable rework time by establishing and maintaining a set of relationships between arrayed objects, like windows on a building or trusses on a bridge.

NEW! Copy Array
The Copy tool includes a new Array option that enables you to more quickly create a linear nonassociative array.

NEW! Blend Tool
The new Blend tool creates spline curves smoothly connecting two objects, helping to speed documentation time.

NEW! Delete Duplicate Objects
The Delete Duplicate Objects tool automatically cleans up your drawings by removing redundant or unneeded geometry, helping you save time and providing increased performance.

NEW! Copy Nested Objects
Use this former Express tool to copy an object from a block or xref into the current drawing.

NEW! Nudge Objects
Easily move objects a few pixels at a time with the new Nudge functionality.

NEW! Preview Fillets and Chamfers
The Fillet and Chamfer commands now display a preview when you pass the cursor over the second object in your selection, so you can confirm the radius or distance values before completing the command.
