What are the additional products available for
installation?
The following additional products are available to install:
■ Autodesk Design Review — Allows users to review, measure, redline, and
annotate DWG, DWF, and DXFx files without the original Autodesk
creation software.
Where do I customize my installation?
Click on the AutoCAD LT band of the Install > Configure & Begin Installation
page of the Installer to reveal the configuration area. Optional features are
listed there, many of them pre-selected for installation.
What features can I customize?
Most features are pre-selected for installation with AutoCAD LT. However,
you can de-select any feature you choose not to install or select one of the
few features that have not been pre-selected. To do so, you must first reveal
the feature tree, which is hidden when you choose a Typical install in the
configuration area. To reveal the feature tree, choose the Custom install option.
Here are the features available when you install AutoCAD LT:
■ Dictionaries: Multi-language dictionaries.
■ Fonts: AutoCAD fonts and TrueType
®
fonts.
■ Autodesk Content Explorer: Interface for quick browsing of DWG files
on local and network drives and on Autodesk Seek. Note: In order to search
network folders, the Autodesk Content Service utility must also be installed
from the Tools & Utilities component of the Installer.
■ Autodesk Seek: Web service for finding, previewing, and downloading
branded and generic building information modeling (BIM) files, models,
drawings, and product specifications directly into an active AutoCAD LT
session. AutoCAD LT users can also upload their drawings to Seek.
■ License Transfer Utility: Tool to allow users to transfer an Autodesk
product license between computers.
■ Samples: AutoCAD LT samples, and DesignCenter samples.
