Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2009, ES

AutoCAD LT 2009, ES AutoCAD LT® software makes all parts of the 2D design process more productive. From DWG™ native file format compatibility, to dynamic blocks, to annotation scaling and text and table enhancements, daily tasks are simplified. Now, you can concentrate on the design instead of the toolset.

Drafting Tools
Across-the-board improvements ensure routine, time-consuming tasks won’t slow you down.
Ribbon
The ribbon interface increases overall drafting productivity by decreasing the number of steps to reach a command. The ribbon interface presents command options in a concise visual format, allowing you to quickly select commands based on the work you’re doing.
Menu Browser
Reviewing and working with several files is no longer a tedious and time-consuming process. The new menu browser interface allows you to browse files and examine thumbnail images and provides detailed information about file size and file creator. Plus you can organise recently used files by name, date or title.
Layer Dialog
The new layer dialog makes creating and editing layer properties faster and less prone to error. Changes are instantly reflected in the drawing as they are made in the dialog. Manipulation of the dialog box is simplified and columns in the dialog can be individually resized so the contents of that column or its title are not truncated. You can fix individual columns in place so that the rest of the columns can be scrolled through and referenced to a fixed column such as the layer name.
Quick Properties
The easily customisable quick properties menu increases productivity by reducing the steps to access properties information, ensuring that the information presented is optimised for you and your project.
Quick View
The quick view feature uses thumbnails instead of file names, so you can open the correct drawing file and layout faster.

Data Sharing
Take advantage of fast and secure collaboration among team members, no matter where they are.
Publish Intelligent Design Data
With DWF™ technology you can publish intelligent design data and save time by simplifying collaboration with your design team. At 1/10th the size of other file formats, DWF is the fastest and easiest way to communicate design information and ensure secure and efficient sharing at every stage of the project lifecycle.
Read/Write to Past Versions of AutoCAD
Increase collaboration and the exchange of data with users of older versions of AutoCAD® software.
Export Files in PDF format
Customers who use Adobe® PDF can view and print your design files.
View and Mark Up Designs
Easily co-ordinate projects during the design review stage by replacing the paper process with a digital one. Review and round-tripping functionality is free* with Autodesk® Design Review software. Mark up drawings with comments, sketches, dimensions, text and stamps before sending them. Workflow is streamlined, fidelity is increased and jobs are finished faster.

Plotting
Spend more time designing and less time plotting.
Access Frequently Used Plot Controls
A single dialog box gives you access to regularly used plot controls. View a full preview with an enhanced plot user interface that shows how your plot will look once the drawing is plotted.
Reduce Waiting Time
Spend more time drafting and less time waiting for plot jobs. With background plotting, you can continue working in the drawing editor while AutoCAD LT software plots in the background.
Stay on Top of Plot Jobs
Notifications are sent when plot jobs are completed.
