Comparación honesta para profesionales de obra, instalación y preparación. AutoCAD LT es a propósito solo 2D. Diaz Editor hace 3D y 2D en una herramienta, pago único, local.
AutoCAD LT is the 2D-only tier of AutoCAD ($480/year, subscription, stops working if you stop paying). Diaz Editor includes a 3D building editor AND a 2D CAD module for €99 founding or €1,000 once. For tradespeople doing buildings, installations, and PDF-ready deliverables, Diaz saves ~€2,300 over 5 years and adds 3D for free.

Source: AutoCAD LT public pricing page + Diaz Editor v0.3 changelog. Updated May 2026.
Difference over 5 years: ~€2,300 stays in your pocket — plus you get 3D included. After the 100 founding spots, regular Pro price is €1,000 once, still 56% cheaper than AutoCAD LT over 5 years.
Diaz Editor wins on price and scope. You get 3D + 2D for €99 once. AutoCAD LT gives you 2D for $2,400 over 5 years. For trades that benefit from building geometry (which is most of them), this is a clear choice.
AutoCAD LT may still be needed for final .dwg delivery to clients or government bodies that mandate it. Common pattern: keep one AutoCAD LT seat for final export, design everything in Diaz Editor.
Yes. AutoCAD LT is intentionally 2D-only — for 3D you need full AutoCAD ($1,955/yr) or Inventor LT. Diaz Editor includes a 3D building editor AND a 2D CAD module in the same one-time price, no upgrade needed.
Diaz Editor reads and writes DXF, which is the open interchange format AutoCAD itself supports. Direct .dwg support is on the v0.5 roadmap. Export your AutoCAD work to DXF (built-in), open in Diaz Editor.
No. $480/year × 5 = $2,400. Diaz Editor founding is €99 once; regular Pro is €1,000 once. AutoCAD LT also stops working when you stop paying — Diaz Editor never expires.
For contractors who require native .dwg, keep one AutoCAD seat for final delivery and design everything in Diaz Editor. DXF round-trips cleanly between both.
