• Access the 3D mechanical CAD tools of Inventor LT and the 2D drafting tools of AutoCAD LT, all in a single cost-effective suite.

• Reuse your AutoCAD LT 2D data in Inventor LT to start designing in 3D. Interoperability helps you maintain productivity as you move to 3D

• Design, visualize and verify even complex mechanical parts in 3D with more efficiency using part-level parametric modeling tools.

• Generate near-photorealistic renderings of 3D part models to communicate design intent to customers and other reviewers, helping to reduce rework and cycle times.

• Share 3D part designs and update production DWG™ drawings more quickly and easily using common file formats to help streamline communication. Production-ready drawings automatically update as projects progress and whenever the 3D part model changes.

Help improve communication when you work with third-party 3D CAD data to help improve communication. Import and export 3D part models in common file formats without relying on file translation software.
