Question about AutoCAD LT

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I am wondering if any other firms are using AutoCAD LT for workstations
of the people who do not really do much cad work. Namely Architects. I
need to get another copy of AutoCAD and I'm thinking about LT.
I know it doesn't have Lisp or 3D but does it work well with 2000
drawings or ADT drawings? And what about VBA?

Does anyone have any problems with doing this?

I'm not looking at just viewers for them they may do some editing.

Any thoughts?

LISP is available through a 3rd party add-on. See LT Toolkit at:
http://www.drcauto.com/

VBA... I don't know of any add-ons for it yet.

Plain AutoCAD drawings should pose no problems with it. Now when you start
talking about ADT and other "advanced" packagings of AutoCAD, I would
hesitate. These tend to use more custom objects and LT cannot use the
enablers like Volo View can. Now how much that would affect whatever you
want to do, I'm not sure.

Heck, just get the 30-day trail/demo from Autodesk and see what happens with
some of your drawings and things these folks might want to do.

Enjoy,
Stef

WOW! AutoLisp in LT!
Has anyone tried this yet? I read a write-up on it and seams to support
everything including DCL.

The Smart Architect Pro software they have available also looks very
impressive. Sure it doesn't look as massive as ADT but it may be a
little less complicated which means easier to use.

Please someone respond if you are using this stuff with great success.
