Question
What are the default drawing limits of AutoCAD LT? (hint: FORMAT – DRAWING  LIMITS) in ENGLISH (IMPERIAL and Metric

Answer
Hi --

1-- No difference in use of LT and regular, other than the capabilities missing in LT (varies by release)

2-- AutoCAD default limits, Imperial: 12 units X, 9 units Y.  It took me 2 minutes to look up that Metric is the same actual size, which measures 420 x 297 mm (as it would have for you to look it up)

However, if one is opening a new drawing via the template suited to his type of work, or (better) the template customized for his office, the above is irrelevant. Thus, the above question is one that only comes up for beginners.

This is a chapter in a good AutoCAD book -- I suggest you get a good book and do the exercizes.
