AutoCAD LT and its limitations


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm a little familiar with AutoCAD LT, but want to attain a better understanding of its limitations so that I can effectively use it should I need to in the future.I also realise that the limitations change from release to release.Here re my questions if anyone has some usefull feedback I'd be grateful:

 

Is there a profile in LT?If there isnt how does it store the user customisations?

 

How do I change the command aliases, as the aliasedit function I assume isnt there?Via the PGP?Anyone know the location?

 

Going from full version what are going to be the main limitations I'll notice with commands?I guess the the express tools and reduction of 3D,but it probably depends on what commands I use most.

 

Can I use page setups?

 

Is there a way to get around the lack of mstretch?

 

I guess rather than go the lisp route I wll have to use diesel more.Not an area Im that familiar with.

 

Any avid LT users out there? :)

I'm sure LT must make use of Profiles.

Yes there is a PGP but the name make be slightly different. Just search for a *.pgp file on your hard drive.

Under the hood, it does. But there isn't a "Profiles" tab in options.

Same way as AutoCAD. You just can't create multiple profiles IIRC.

Same as AutoCAD.

Yes.

Hi David yes its been a long time. :)

Thanks for that link,what I do notice however is that theres no clear distiction as to what commands are or arent there as each version of LT varies.I think for instance 2010 LT now has the align command.Been looking fruther into it and it appears as rkmcswain said that in LT there is one profile that is set, but youre unable to access it to import it to other installations.
