Question
I am new to AutoCAD. I have the 2006 version, my school has the 2002LT version, and when I try to open the file at school it wont work.  So my teacher said to save as a 2002LT file, but when I try there is no selection under the files of type pull down menu. Which one would I save as so I can use it at school with their 2002LT version?
                             Thank You!

p.s. I hope you get this. I have never ask for any kind of support on the net. I am not even sure how I get a response from you. E-mail I guess. If so thank you for your time.

Answer
Rick,
You can also try saving the drawing in 2000. If all fails, use the universal language for CAD systems which is the DXF format. Try to export your drawing in the 2000 dxf format. The 2002LT should be able to open this file. Hope this helps, let me know!
