I have just received my subscription update to LT2013 and am looking for the informed opinions from the experts on the new version. Currently running LT 2012.
as in the update for 2012 from last year or an update that is provided somewhere on the subscription site ?
as in the update for AutocadLT 2012 from last year or an additional update that is provided somewhere on the subscription site ?
LT2012's update that's available to everyone adds back the classic array command, Service Packs, Updates & Downloads:

Oh yeah I installed that service pack already. If the Claasic Array feature was included with that update would the GUI have a new panel to use for the Classic Aray function or is there a command line operation that should be used ?
The HELP file that goes with the update states:
" New ARRAYCLASSIC command and SNAPGRIDLEGACY system variable
The Service Pack brings back the Array dialog functionality by introducing a new ARRAYCLASSIC command. It also introduces the option to restore legacy Snap behavior by controlling it through the new SNAPGRIDLEGACY system variable:
ARRAYCLASSIC
Creates copies of objects in a regularly spaced rectangular or polar array.
SNAPGRIDLEGACY
1 – Always snap the cursor to the grid
0 – Only snap the cursor to the grid when AutoCAD prompts to specify a point"
Not to over self-advertise, but if you also follow my Twitter account (you can use MSOutlook or AutoCAD/LT 2012, you don't even need a twitter account if you don't have one) you'll get daily tips for free.
I just got my ACAD LT 2013 DVD as well. I have been waiting to upgrade to the Mac version for several years now and finally it's available! I really love the new layout of the Mac version and am very excited to use it professionally. Unfortunately I am still very disappointed and still have to use the PC version to work successfully. There are still several commands that I use very often in my work that are not included in the Mac version that do exist in the Windows version. The Layer State Manager is STILL not part of the Mac verision and I really wonder why. As far as I know, there is no replacement yet it's such a great tool as I use it to switch between plan levels like floor plan or roof plan. There is also no Change Space command in the Mac version, again a valuable tool.
Kate, do you know why it's taking so long to get the Mac version to catch up since at least the 2011 version?
Thanks
Don
