I enjoy the creation a corridor without alignment or profile — I can specify a feature line as the baseline. This is the most important advantage of the 2017 version over the previous release for me. And cleaning up the self-intersections of the corridor on bends also makes my job a lot easier. I can also now publish quick links to these corridors to my projects. This was also a very long-awaited thing, I am very pleased to finally see such an opportunity in the new version.

I bought AutoCAD LT 2016 and I can say that I am very pleased with the innovations. For example, in this version, a new object snap has been added, in order to find the geometric center of an object you do not need to use multiple snaps! It can be found immediately by analogy with the center of a circle. Also, the new AutoCAD has a new rendering engine. Highly recommend!

The AutoCAD LT 2020 application is very light, even beginners will master it. That being said, it is a great powerful tool for estimating, drafting and design. I like how easy it is to make flat pattern parts using this software. Also, if you have a limited budget, like mine, then AutoCAD LT is an excellent CAD solution because it costs much less than the full version.
