Questions and Answers
My AutoCAD LT 200x works just fine. Why should I buy new software?
A lot has changed since your version was released. An independent
productivity study (AutoCAD 2011 Productivity Study, by David
Cohn) proved that drafters can work up to 44% faster with AutoCAD
LT 2011, the previous release, than on AutoCAD LT 2008. And if you’re using a
release earlier than 2008, your productivity gains could be even greater. If you
consider how much your time is worth, more efficient software can pay for
itself.
There are cheaper and even free software alternatives. How do I justify the
cost of AutoCAD LT?
Consider the cost of lost time or wasted cycles dealing with corrupted or
incompatible data. The cost of running a business includes many factors beyond
the price of software. The value of AutoCAD LT software’s stability, reliability
and data fidelity could translate into more time spent building your business.
