Question about AutoCAD LT features...
(OP)
I used AutoCAD Electrical 2006 to import JPEGs and measure radiuses of curves shown in JPEGs in the past. Is the JPEG import functionality the same with AutoCAD LT? As long as I can import the JPEG and draw on top of it I should be fine.

Not sure if I communicated what I'm trying to do very well- I just need to import a .JPG and draw on it; it does not matter if I can only save the final drawing as a .DWG or not...

there's a trick I think. Which Lt-version are you using?

My requirements were both to be able to draw on a .jpg and to send the file to other people who could open it in AutoCAD.

I'm considering purchasing LT 2008, do you know if tip 871 applies to it?
If so that'll be great, otherwise I'll be looking at a full version of 2008.

BINDING RASTER IMAGES
1. In AutoCAD, run the INSERTOBJ command.
2. Choose "Create New", then choose "Bitmap Image".
3. Next, Windows Paintbrush should open up.
4. In Paintbrush, choose the Edit menu, then PasteFrom
5. Select your existing image file (JPG, BMP, PNG, TIF, etc.)
6. While still in Paintbrush, choose File, then Exit and Return to AutoCAD

I found CADianUSA.com and downloaded a demo of their software. I discovered that this IntelliCAD engine software package is a very close clone of AutoCad LT. (Same commands, same dwg files. The icons are a little different.) There is one big difference that was very strange. Their full functional demo never crashed like my old trusty, AutoCad LT 2000 does.
Yes, it also imports raster images. There are also COGO, profile and earthwork modules for it at far less than AutoCad. I wish AutoDesk would get a clue and give engineers and designers what we want. However, they never will if we keep sending them money.
