LT Toolkit Adds Programming Tools To
AutoCAD LT
LT users can add in 3D and 'AEC' type automation to AutoCAD or ADT, AutoCAD, saving thousands of hours!
LT Toolkits When AutoCAD LT was released some years ago, controversy raged when it was announced that there would be no 'design automation' facilities in what was to become the CAD workhorse of the vast majority of construction industry drawing offices Now 'AEC' type facilities, Lisp and 3D are back ! Instead of spending thousands to upgrade to full AutoCAD or ADT, AutoCAD LT users can add in 3D and 'AEC' type automation for just £695 + VAT LISP programming Standard LT is limited to being an electronic drawing board, offering only simple script facilities to execute series of commands

Leonardo Computer Systems now offer an AutoCAD annual subscription service to ensure that AutoCAD software is always kept up to date.
Cost Savings For Prompt AutoCAD Upgrades
The software contains new features that enhance the workflow of drawing sets and new tools to facilitate collaboration amongst project teams.
Now, the LT Toolkit adds programming tools to AutoCAD LT, including support for ObjectARX, ObjectDBX and AutoLISP, FAS and Visual Lisp.
These facilities offer LT users the tools to build powerful 'design automation' programs onto AutoCAD LT, such as customisation to automate repetitive tasks, and automated parametric drawing.
At a simpler level LT Toolkit also offers many simple timesaving functions like the ability to redefine the function and cursor control keys and layer creation and control via keystrokes.
3D in LT LT3D brings all the benefits of 3D modelling technology to AutoCAD LT 2002.
For the first time 3D modelling is available as an option to AutoCAD LT 2002.
LT3D 2002 provides AutoCAD LT 2002 with a range of tools to cater for all types of 3D modelling including surfaces and solids as well as the power to modify and measure AEC Design Automation with Smart Architect.
When AutoDesk's AEC package was withdrawn, and the new US developed ADT was introduced, many architects felt they had lost an old friend.
Smart Architect adds powerful ObjectARX technology to AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT, providing an extensive range of tools to cater for all types of building development as well as the power to generate complete 3D models.
Smart Architect tailors the familiar AutoCAD interface, making available common building elements - like walls, windows, doors, and roofs, giving the ability to generate 2D drawings and 3D models.
Smart Architect also provides tools to cut sections, peel off elevations and automatically dimension the building.
