STUDY SUMMARY

Autodesk commissioned a study that explored the productivity and commercial differentiations between AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT when performing tasks ranging from creating geometry to creating plans and elevations, extracting object data, and applying and monitoring CAD standards. Results showed that AutoCAD could allow a user to generate designs up to 7.1 times quicker* compared with AutoCAD LT, when these tasks were performed by an experienced AutoCAD user.
