AutoCAD LT 2025 is here! Vietbay is excited to share new innovations for best-in-class 2D drafting along with the latest performance improvements*. All you need to do is open the Autodesk Access application to start the update. Read on to learn more about some of the latest features in AutoCAD LT 2025.
Core Performance & Drafting
With the launch of AutoCAD 2025, we announced significant improvements that have been made to reduce file open times. And we’re excited to let you know that this feature also applies to files opened in AutoCAD LT 2025, an important step toward increasing productivity for all AutoCAD users.
AutoCAD LT 2025 also shares convenient updates to the familiar HATCH command—a tool designed to quickly add structure and clarity to your drawings using patterns, solid fills, and gradient fill color. Previously, Hatch required you to use predefined closing boundaries to fill gaps. With the 2025 release, you can now add custom boundary tile patterns after starting a command—including the ability to create a Hatch section along a path.
Smart Blocks
First introduced in AutoCAD LT 2024 with the Placement feature, Smart Blocks represents just one of the ways AutoCAD continues to leverage Autodesk AI to improve the core 2D drafting experience. AutoCAD LT 2025 now introduces a new Smart Blocks: Search and Convert feature that can be used to quickly organize geometry into Blocks. This tool allows you to search drawings by selecting geometry and highlighting all matching objects found on the canvas, providing options to convert them into instances of a block with with the help of Autodesk AI.
“Search and Convert enables a more efficient workflow in AutoCAD. Blocks can get lost or become difficult to work with, and this feature allows for a more efficient approach, saving time and quickly creating new blocks from elements in the drawing.”
—Joe VanderPluym, Associate Designer
Activity Insights
New in AutoCAD LT 2025, Operation Insights is designed to be a one-stop shop for users to track and compare DWG versions with file comparison capabilities. Consolidating features from the previous DWG History tool, You can view Activity Insights using the new color palette while working on the drawing or directly from the Start Tab without having to open the drawing.
ArcGIS® Basemaps
Now, in AutoCAD LT 2025, you can create the basis for one of five ArcGIS® Basemaps from Esri for field projects with real-world geographic information. Using the GEOLOCATION command, access high-resolution satellite and aerial imagery, OpenStreetMaps, Streets, dark gray and light gray monochrome map styles
