AutoCAD LT
AutoCAD LT does not support the development of applications based on ObjectARX, LISP or VBA. AutoCAD LT was not intended as an application development platform, but as a lower-cost easier to use alternative to the full features and functions of AutoCAD. The Quantum AutoCAD LT interface only uses the standard features of LT, and as such certain functions will lack the full ability of AutoCAD. Some features are not available with LT.
