Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2019 R1 for Mac is the R1 refresh of the 2019 release of Autodesk's 2D drafting software. It was aimed at drafters and small teams who needed reliable DWG drafting, annotation and plotting on macOS without the 3D tools of full AutoCAD. Many offices kept this release for years because it matched their existing templates, blocks and workflows.

Key Features

• Precise 2D drafting and annotation in the native DWG format
• Mac-native interface with tool palettes, multitouch gestures and Cover Flow navigation
• Layers, blocks, external references and sheet layouts for organised drawings
• DWG compare, shared views and cloud saving to work across desktop, web and mobile
• 2019-era release kept by many users for compatibility with older drawings and templates

How to Download

1. Remember this is a legacy release: check that your macOS version is one this 2019 build actually supports before installing.
2. Get it from Autodesk or the developer: Download from the official site
3. Run the installer, sign in or enter your licence details if asked, and launch the app from your Applications folder.

System Requirements

This is an older AutoCAD release for Mac from its era, so it was built for the macOS versions current at the time and for Intel Macs. On a modern Apple silicon Mac it may not install or run correctly. For current work, Autodesk recommends a recent AutoCAD for Mac release on a recent version of macOS.

FAQs

Is AutoCAD LT the same as full AutoCAD?

No. AutoCAD LT focuses on 2D drafting and documentation and does not include the 3D modelling and some automation tools of full AutoCAD. It uses the same DWG format, so files move easily between the two.

Can I try AutoCAD LT before subscribing?

Yes. Autodesk offers a free trial of AutoCAD LT through its official site, and students and educators may qualify for educational access. This page does not offer a free copy of the paid software.
