AutoCAD LT is a version of AutoCAD with more limited capabilities. It is cheaper than AutoCAD full version. In addition to being sold directly by Autodesk, it is available for purchase at computer stores, unlike full AutoCAD which must be purchased from an official Autodesk dealer. It was developed so that Autodesk would have an entry-level CAD package available to compete in this price class.AutoCAD LT is marketed as a CAD package for those only who need 2D functionality. Compared to the full edition of AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT lacks several features: most notably, it has no 3D modelling capabilities (although it has a full suite of 3D viewing functions for looking at 3D models created in other CAD packages) and blocks the use of any programming interfaces, such as support for most third party programs and does not allow AutoLISP programs. A full listing of differences is on the Autodesk website. AutoCAD LT originated by taking the code base of AutoCAD and commenting out substantial portions, which allowed AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT to be developed simultaneously.
