Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2026 – 1-Year Licence | Windows

Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2026 for Windows: Autodesk's 2D drafting software

AutoCAD LT is the 2D version of AutoCAD. It shares the interface, commands and DWG format of the full software, without the 3D modelling, which makes it the most direct tool for drawing, dimensioning and laying out technical drawings. This 2026 edition for Windows is designed for draughtspeople, technicians, building trades, students and anyone who produces 2D drawings.

With the 1-year Education licence from Yeslicense, you work on the full version of AutoCAD LT: the same tools, the same file formats and the same updates throughout your subscription. It is the ideal way to train, prepare for a qualification or build your AutoCAD LT skills before starting your career.

What can you do with AutoCAD LT 2026?

• Complete 2D drafting tools: lines, arcs, polylines, associative dimensions, hatches, tables and layers for accurate, easy-to-read drawings.
• Layouts and printing: layouts, layout viewports, annotation scales and PDF export to deliver clean drawing sets.
• Automation with AutoLISP: AutoCAD LT supports AutoLISP, so you can automate repetitive tasks and apply your drawing standards.
• Blocks and libraries: dynamic blocks, tool palettes and smart blocks to reuse the elements you draw again and again.
• Collaboration: PDF markup import, drawing comparison and shared views to get a drawing reviewed.
• Reliable DWG files: TrustedDWG technology keeps your files compatible with all Autodesk software.
