AutoCAD LT

By audience

Designer / Drafter

• Produce and edit the 2D DWG sheet set — plans, elevations, sections, details — in the same file format the rest of the project already uses.
• Write AutoLISP routines to automate repetitive drafting and enforce layer, block and title-block standards, which LT has supported since the 2024 release.
• Work on drawings stored in Forma Data Management with Xref paths repaired automatically when a reference is moved or renamed in the cloud.
• Use Smart Blocks search-and-convert to find repeated geometry and turn it into blocks rather than redrawing it.

Architecture

• Run a fully 2D documentation workflow where the deliverable is a DWG sheet set and no BIM model is required.
• Receive, redline and return consultants' DWG backgrounds without needing a full AutoCAD or Revit seat.
• Share drawings for review on web and mobile under the same subscription, so a markup does not require the desktop application.

Interior Design

• Draw tenant fit-out plans, reflected ceiling plans and millwork details in 2D, which is the whole deliverable on most fit-out packages.
• Build reusable block libraries for furniture, fixtures and casework and keep them consistent across projects.
• Take the base building DWG from the architect and work directly in it rather than converting or redrawing.

By phase

Design

• Carry a 2D package from schematic through construction documents where the drawing set is the deliverable.
• Maintain the Xref structure that links the sheet set together, including when the drawings live in a cloud project.
• Automate standards checking across the set with AutoLISP so drawings stay consistent as they develop.
