Hi Andrew,

I couldn’t tell you all the problems we have been having, mainly because there is a higher up in our office who is very well-versed in CAD and he seems to be the one running into problems periodically. He knows much more than myself, so he is usually the one who troubleshoots these issues then feeds me the info.

I do know that one of our most recent issues has to do with XY Coordinate points [I think that is what you mean by survey points??]. We had to insert these blocks into the sheet files because for some reason they would print 0,0 even though in the print preview the full coordinates would be showing up. I read on a forum that it is a common problem. Other issues, annotative scaling, LandFx compatibility, X-Ref attach, creating NE blocks.

Here is a forum that lists the commands and variables not included in AutoCAD LT version: http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/qaID.asp?tip=6397.

I would agree with David. If you want to save money, go for Briscad. Most importantly for its LandFx capabilities [if that is something you will be interested in using].

I have recently joined a firm that has all AutoCAD LT licenses. We have been experiencing numerous issues with this platform. Many of the key functions you may be used to are not available in the LT version. There are some ways around them but then you spend 1hr of your time trying to figure out how to accomplish something that could have been done with one command in the full version. Or it is simply unattainable, which can be quite frustrating. You pay for what you get right…..that is why it is LT.

Good luck!

Glad to see you’re back. Keep up the great work!
