Improve communication with suppliers and customers
Autodesk® Inventor LT™ makes it easy to create, share, and edit 3D part models from different CAD systems. Inventor LT helps reduce the hassles and headaches of working in an environment with many disparate CAD systems. It allows you to quickly import, export, create, and modify 3D part models in many common file formats to meet today’s increasing need for communicating in 3D.  Inventor LT is being introduced as a Technology Preview release and is available for a limited time as a free download!

About Inventor LT

• Multi-CAD translation capabilities for leading 3D file formats

• 3D part model creation and editing

• Automated mechanical drawings

• Genuine DWG interoperability

• Photorealistic rendering

What are the key similarities and differences between Inventor LT and Inventor?

Inventor LT provides the same 3D part modeling, import/export, documentation, and rendering capabilities available in the Autodesk® Inventor™ 2008 product line. Since Inventor LT is based on a similar user interface and technology as Inventor 2008, all the files created and 3D design skills learned in Inventor LT are fully transferable to Inventor software.

Key capabilities available in other products in the Inventor product family that are not available in Inventor LT include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Inventor Series capabilities:
  • 3D assembly modeling
  • Specialty design tools such as:
  • Sheet metal design
  • Frame Generator
  • Design Accelerator
  • Weldment design
• Autodesk Inventor Professional capabilities:
  • Dynamic simulation
  • Routed systems
  • Customization via application programming interface (API) access or third-party add-in applications
  • Network license
  • Side-by-side installation with Inventor 2008
  • Inclusion of AutoCAD® software

Who would use Inventor LT?

Professionals in virtually any manufacturing-related industry who need to create, share, and edit 3D parts from any of a number of common leading 3D CAD programs, including Inventor, PTC, Unigraphics, and SolidWorks® (Parasolid) software

Companies that have one or two licenses of the preceding 3D packages but are using them only for sharing 3D files

AutoCAD users who need to exchange data with these systems but don’t need the full functionality of Inventor and aren’t already on the path to 3D

*Once activated, Inventor LT Technology Preview will run until May 1, 2008.  **Inventor LT is not currently available for purchase. Should Inventor LT become available for purchase, Autodesk anticipates that the suggested retail price for a new license of Inventor LT will be approximately US$999, and customers who participate in the Technology Preview will receive special purchase incentives.
