Autodesk Launches Autodesk Inventor LT

Autodesk, Inc. announced a technology preview release of Autodesk Inventor LT software, a new member of its Autodesk Inventor family of software products. Inventor LT will help customers enhance their communications with suppliers and manufacturing partners by making it easy and affordable to create, share and edit 3D part designs.

"Inventor LT eliminates many of the headaches associated with moving files between different CAD systems," said Robert "Buzz" Kross, vice president of Autodesk Manufacturing Solutions. "As a result, customers can realize the benefits of 3D part design and AutoCAD interoperability to get their jobs done faster and easier."

Inventor LT Technology Preview is available only as English language software and is available for download only in the United States and Canada. Additional countries may be added at a future time.

Create, Share and Edit 3D Designs for Improved Supply Chain Communication

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