Associative Arrays
Save valuable rework time by establishing and maintaining a set of relationships between arrayed objects. Array objects along a specified path (rather than just rectangular or polar options), helping to save even more time when creating conceptual designs or finished documentation. Modify existing arrays with grips to change the object count or spacing. Move or replace individual items in the array without affecting other objects, and remove any overrides with the Reset option
AutoCAD WS
With access directly from the AutoCAD LT 2012 interface, the AutoCAD® WS web and mobile applications enable you to stay connected to your designs over the web or from your mobile device
Autodesk Content Explorer
Quickly find your design content based on file objects or text attributes. Autodesk Content Explorer creates an index of your data on local and network drives, helping you quickly access files
Autodesk Exchange
Use an in-product browser window to directly access a wide variety of resources, including:
Auto-Complete Commands
Access commands more efficiently with Auto-Complete. As you type at the command line or the dynamic input field, AutoCAD LT displays a list with possible command names or aliases. Use the arrow keys to navigate to your choice or use the mouse to select a command from the list
Blend Objects
The new Blend tool creates a spline that smoothly joins two curves. Blend is supported for lines, arcs, elliptical arcs, polylines, and splines
Combine Objects into Groups
The Group function has been updated to make it easier to create, modify, and use groups. Objects in groups can be selected and edited together or individually as needed. This is different from objects in blocks, which, outside of the Block Editor, can only be selected and edited as a unit
Delete Duplicate Objects
Clean up your drawings by removing redundant geometry with the Delete Duplicates tool. Delete Duplicates also eliminates unnecessary vertices in polylines, and combines overlapping or end-to-end lines, providing increased performance
Fillet & Extend Spline Objects
Splines can now be filleted with other objects such as lines and polylines. They can also be extended to meet another object
Multi-Functional Grips
The power of multi-functional grips, previously available for polylines, splines, and hatch objects, has been extended to lines, arcs, dimensions, and multileaders. Simply hover over a grip to see the relevant commands and options
Multileader Enhancements
You can now extend the landing of a multileader to the edge of its text rather than the edge of the bounding box around the text. Also, control the gap between multileader text and its frame
Multiple Locations for Plot Support Files
The Files tab of the Options dialog now supports multiple folder locations for Printer Support files including CTB, STB, and PC3 files
New Layer Management Option
Quickly freeze a layer in all viewports except the current one with a new option on the right-click shortcut menu in the Layer Properties Manager
Copy Array
The copy tool includes a new Array option that enables you to quickly create a linear non-associative array
Nudge Objects
Move objects a few pixels at a time with the new Nudge functionality. Simply select the objects, then press Ctrl along with the appropriate arrow key
Preview Fillets & Chamfers
The Fillet and Chamfer commands now display a preview so you can confirm the radius or distance values before completing the command
Reset Settings Tool
You can return AutoCAD LT to default settings even if you have customized your installation, with the option of backing up your customized settings and files for later use
Sheet Set Manager
The Sheet Set Manager organizes your drawing sheets, reduces steps to publish, automatically creates layout views, links sheet set information into title blocks and plot stamps, and performs tasks across a sheet set so everything is in one convenient place
Editable UCS Icon
The UCS (User Coordinate System) icon now supports direct manipulation. Select the icon, then use multi-functional grips to move or rotate the current coordinate system
