Autodesk has released both AutoCAD 2008 and AutoCAD LT 2008 simultaneously. Not surprisingly,they're nearly identical in the way they look and work. You can share files between the two programs with complete confidence that you won't lose data or corrupt files. The main differences are that LT doesn't support all the 3D functions of AutoCAD 2008, nor does it support the customization tools of AutoLISP and VBA. But LT still has plenty to offer in both the productivity and customization areas.
