New to AutoCAD LT 2011
There are a few features in AutoCAD LT 2011 that will be familiar to long-time AutoCAD users, but that
have been unavailable in AutoCAD LT until now.
• Gradient hatches are now supported, and can be found in the pattern list on the Hatch Creation
and Hatch Editor contextual ribbon tabs.
• Quick Dimension, available on the Dimensions panel of the Annotate tab, is a useful tool for
creating a series of baseline or continued dimensions for selected objects.
• Layer Previous enables you to undo the most recent set of changes to layer properties.
• The Sketch command, available at the command line, can be used to create irregular boundaries
or to trace with a digitizer. You can set the increment for recording points, choose the type of
sketch to create (lines, polylines, or splines), and set the tolerance for spline-fit sketches.
Learning Resources
When you start AutoCAD LT 2011, a Welcome Screen is automatically displayed. From the Welcome
Screen you can link to short videos to learn about key topics in AutoCAD LT. Additional links at the
bottom of the Welcome Screen provide easy access to more learning resources, including What’s New,
Learning Path, and AutoCAD LT Online Help.
New Features Workshop
The New Features Workshop has been updated to include AutoCAD LT 2011 functionality. This
interactivelearning tool helps you discover the newest functionality with minimal effort. You can access
the New Features Workshop from the drop-down menu on the InfoCenter toolbar, to the right of the
Help button.
