Since LT works in the native DWG format, it's easier to use with AutoCAD users as it maintains the integrity of the DWG drawing and can be used for annotation and detailing on a drawing project. Both programs pick up a point here for their layout and ease of use. Vectorworks also features a customisable GUI, with tool palettes and drop-down menus to suit the user's way of working. LT shares the same flexible user interface as the fully-featured AutoCAD and as it's customisable, you can set up the screen to look and function how you want. With Vectorworks,you have the option to add the Renderworks integrated renderer module, and the new CINEMA 4D rendering engine provides advanced functionality to produce quality photorealistic and artistic render images. There's no rendering capability either, but again you wouldn't have to look too far to find a compatible and affordable renderer such as Photoshop or Shaderlight for Google SketchUp. While LT doesn't have solid modelling capability, it manages to produce some excellent 3D surface models in the hands of the capable user.

In that sense, it should be compared to the full AutoCAD package's range of 2D and 3D tools for drafting, modelling, annotation and presentation.

You wouldn't expect to see a professional modelling solution within an entry level program, but Vectorworks Fundamentals punches above its weight, providing conceptual design tools and powerful 3D modelling functionality for professional free-form solid modelling designs. These include support for the AutoCAD WS mobile and web app, the Sheet Set Manager organisational tool, and other powerful tools such as Associative Arrays (maintain relationships between arrayed objects), Multifunctional Grips (now for lines, arcs and dimensions) and Delete Duplicate Objects (removes unnecessary geometry). It can work with Xrefs, raster images, dynamic blocks and PDFs, and Autodesk have added new features to the most recent versions of LT that were previously reserved for bigger brother AutoCAD. We've weighed up the main points in favour of each program, so you can see which you should be looking at before you make an investment.ĪutoCAD LT is promoted for entry level 2D drafting and detailing, but now offers everything you need for general CAD work.

For an all-in-one, affordable 2D drafting solution, AutoCAD LT is a great choice, but if you want to add 3D drafting to your workflow, Vectorworks Fundamentals is the way to go.
