AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT are two types of software that help in carrying out computer-aided design and drafting. While both are quite similar in terms of function, there are some differences between the two. AutoCAD is the older of the two, as it was first created in 1982. AutoCAD was initially meant to be used by desktops, but it can now be gotten as a mobile app.

One of the major differences between the two is that you are going to pay more before you can use all the functions of AutoCAD since it is a complete version. AutoCAD LT, on the other hand, was created to be a low-cost version of the two, and that is why it cannot be effective to produce certain results as AutoCAD.

From the explanation given above, it is expected that AutoCAD will contain more features compared to AutoCAD LT. Also, while you can easily get AutoCAD LT from any computer store that has it, AutoCAD can only be gotten from specific Autodesk salesmen.

AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT are two types of CAD software, that are used for design purposes. They both can be used to create 2D documents, drafts, and designs. AutoCAD has an additional function of creating 3D visuals and models. With that, another difference between them is related to cost.

AutoCAD LT is lower costs, priced at $420 a year. As it has the additional features, AutoCAD costs $1690 per year. Another difference between them is what they include. They both include the web and mobile app, but AutoCAD will include access to the app store for Autodesk and special tools.
