In these situations, the drawing cannot be saved to an AutoCAD LT 2007 or
earlier file format until the issues are resolved. You can resolve the size limits
by breaking the drawing or objects up into several drawings or objects.
NOTE When working with the 64-bit release of AutoCAD LT, you can work more
efficiently with large objects and drawings. However, the drawing files you create
might be too large to open with the 32-bit release of AutoCAD LT.
