AutoCAD LT Foundation

AutoCAD LT is a reduced version of full AutoCAD package, it looks and operates in exactly the same manner. The differences between the two are only apparent on some of the more advanced tasks. AutoCAD LT delivers excellent CAD performance in a low-cost package.

The objective of this 1 day course is to provide delegates with an introduction to AutoCAD LT. The course assumes no prior knowledge and establishes a broad base for the user to progress from. The course will allow delegates to produce 2D drawings correctly, using basic draw and modify commands.
