LT users, new as well as experienced, have a plethora of resources to expand on their skills with new and modified commands, as well as to decipher error messages, program or command limitations, installation guides and more. Many of the resources are free and designed to be available for you to seek and explore if and when you need help.
Starting within LT itself, HELP (hit the F1 key on your keyboard to start) is the place to start searching for basic how-to instructions for standard installations, command abilities, and variable searches. If you are a user of more current versions HELP, located at the top-right corner with a ready-to-use Search bar, will also search the internet and Autodesk's open Discussion Forums for additional topics that can provide additional (or historical) answers. Get AutoCAD LT training materials directly from the AutoCAD LT Help menu or the New Features Workshop as well. Start Exploring today.
HELP is also available online for
LT2011 and
LT2012, as are the Getting Started Videos for
LT2012 (LT2011: Getting Started videos are accessible from the Welcome Screen), New Features (
LT2012 and
LT2011), and Downloadable Manuals (User and Installation documentation for
LT2012 and
LT2011) For other Languages, additional documentation is available in multiple languages from the language drop-down list in
Autodesk Exchange.
