 Good Product April 3, 2007
I have used ACAD since version 9, I have used 10, and then LT 97, then I recently upgraded to v 2007... Good solid program, there were some nice enhancements especially since 97, 10 years can do wonders for a a product...
A little more than I would have liked to spend, but it has what my company needs to do some simple drafting...

AutoCAD 2007 LT is a couple of steps above AutoCAD 2002 as far as ease of use but its still a 2D CAD program which isn't especially too far beyond pencil, compass, and straight edge.
 Adequate program March 3, 2007

I've been using AutoCAD (full version) since version 9. I bought the LT version for my draftsman to use works fine for what it does, but LT lacks enough of the things the full version does that I won't buy it again.
The most important thing I use are lisp routines and LT doesn't support that. That reduces my drafting speed substantially. It also doesn't support 3D. While that's not important to me, I sometimes use it to help see parts of a building to make sure everything works together.
Overall, AutoCAD (both full and LT) is a fine program, but they need to keep backwards compatibility. If you can afford $4,000 for the full version, you'd be better off. But if not LT will work in a pinch.

I took some time before I bought AutoCAD LT. It was a big investment for an engineer but well-worth the trouble--I am glad I waited. So many improvements, so little time. My first exposure to AutoCAD was filling in for my CAD operator after her untimely lay-off (Companies are usually stupid in these matters.) I rushed to learn AutoCAD 11 so I could fix the drawings. Since then, I have tracked AutoCAD's developments; AutoCAD LT 2007 is even a big improvement over AutoCAD 2004. If you do consulting, you need this software.
Since I spend most of my time in Publishing as an editor for Chemical Processing magazine, I was concerned with compatibility with other software. Afterall, what good is any software if others, who don't have $900 to pay for AutoCAD, can't use what you send them? This dilemma is easily handled by this software. Here was my problem: my production people use Adobe Illustrator, a poor cousin to AutoCAD and designed for magazines only; I am not impressed by software support by Adobe (They hung up on me!). I could not produce quality drawings that production could edit and Powerpoint (What I used before AutoCAD) is a pitiful solution that won't produce quality.With some finagling and emails to experts in AutoCAD (not AutoDesk), I found the solution: convert my files to AuotCAD 2000.DWG files. This worked flawlessly allowing the Illustrator users to edit my drawings---perfect.
I am working my way through several textbooks on AutoCAD to get up to speed. Someday, I will probably want to re-enter engineering and hope to have the skills I need. (See my other reviews for information on some good and bad AutoCAD training material.)
There is one flaw, which I am waiting for AutoCAD to address: the help file. It is terrible! Were it not for the excellent work done so far in this edition, I would dock them a few stars. Here's the trick: just keep hitting cancel when you get the pop-up error window. After half-a-dozen clicks you will find the answers you need in the help file. It's just a pain.
If you are waiting for a good version of AutoCAD to latch onto--- buy this.
One comment to AutoDesk: since you copied several good ideas from Powerpoint why didn't you copy paintbrush? That would be a nice feature.

One problem cropped up: customer support on reloads. I went through a bout of hard drive failures during the past 6 months. After the last one, I was told that I had exceeded my limit on downloads. Working through email customer support was useless but the phone support was sucessful in issuing a new authorization code. Just make sure that you keep your receipt. If you buy through Amazon that should be easy; Amazon keeps a record of your purchases.
I hope this review helped. If so, please vote.
