Creating freehand looking drawings from AutoCAD LT drawings

[enquiries]

Does anybody know a reliable software for taking a CAD drawing produced in AutoCAD LT 2023 and making it look like a freehand sketch?

I've used CADSketch in the past but that is no longer availabe. Autodesk used to have Impressions to do this?

Any help would be aprpeciated.

Addons aren't available in LT you'll need full AutoCAD to do that

Can you recommend other software?

[hwalker]

Sorry, no. I only use LT

The free viewer trueview will let you change the visual styles of any dwg file (so created in LT) you could try the 'sketchy' view style. Unfortunately, you cannot save any changes in trueview but you can plot to PDF using the visual styles if that would be of any value to you.
