differences between 2008 and 2008LT

[KnoJa31]

Have a situation where i am creating templates and standards for a sister company. I am using 2008 and they are using 2008 LT. I have been trying to fine a list of limitations of LT.

 

What i need is to find out if LT supports Datalinks or a comparison between the full version and LT.

 

Your help is greatly appreciated and not over looked!!

Thanks shift!! That was exactly what i was looking for! Of course im assuming that most of what was show is applicable to 2008.

Using Google type this in for your search criteria exactly as shown.

 

"AutoCAD 2008 vs AutoCAD LT 2008"

 

Click on the link for a Comparison Matrix offered by cad.amsystems.com. It will be in PDF format.

So i noticed it says Dynamic Blocks. I didnt think LT could create blocks? Or is it that LT can utilize Dynamic Blocks?

[ReMark]

What says Dynamic Blocks? The matrix?

 

Yes. Both versions, full and LT, can create blocks. Dynamic Blocks are blocks on steroids.

[KnoJa31]

So LT can create Dynamic Blocks?!!

So LT can create Dynamic Blocks?!!

 

According to the matrix I pointed you to the answer appears to be yes. I don't use AutoCAD LT.

[KnoJa31]

Well thats what i gathered from the matrix as well. I dont use it either, but the people that i am creating these templates for are saying that they cant create dynamic blocks. I might have to have a chat with them and find out.

 

Thanks for all your help!

is it that dynamic blocks cannot be created but can be inserted by LT?

Regarding Dynamic Blocks and their creation see this series of articles from AutoDesk.

This should answer both of your questions re: Dynamic Blocks (use and creation):

You're entirely welcomed KnoJa31. Seems we both learned something new regarding LT and Dynamic Blocks.
