Here are a few of the AutoCAD/LT utilities that I have put together and shared as Freeware with the Drafting Community.

Polygonal Viewports Template LT can not create a polygonal viewport but it can manipulate one created in full AutoCAD.
Instructions included in drawing file.

About_LTXpress What is LTXpress Tools? Here is a text file that explains it.

LTXpress_v3 A set of tools for LT2000-LT2005 that mimic Express Tools for AutoCAD.
This download is not designed for LT2006.
Download the zip file to your hard drive.
Decompress it and open Setup.txt for installation instructions.

LTXpress_2006 A set of tools for LT2006 that mimic Express Tools for AutoCAD.
This download is not designed for LT2005/2004/2002/2000.
Download the zip file to your hard drive.
Decompress it and open Setup.txt for installation instructions.
**This version allows the use of spaces in the layer names.**

LTXpress_2007 I have not installed LT2007 yet. Most of the Express Tools have
been added to the core product on this version by AutoDesk.

Multiple_Palettes_v4 For AutoCAD 2004 (FULL).
Provides multiple palettes and ability to install blocks at dimscale
in modelspace; at 1:1 in paperspace and at viewport scale thru an open viewport.

About AreaTools A text file explaining a bit more about AreaTools.lsp.

AreaTools For AutoCAD (FULL).
A lisp utility for Area Callouts.

About QuickTools A text file explaining a bit more about QuickTools.lsp.

QuickTools For AutoCAD (FULL).
A lisp utility for placing dims, text and leaders on predefined layers.

Hot4CAD Rafter Tables For AutoCAD, SketchUp.
A comparitive table of roof slopes, roof angles, length per foot run and backing angles for hip/valley rafters. It covers roof slopes from 1:12 to 30:12. If you are using Google SketchUp to do Timber Framing modeling or real world stick framing you will find my Rafter Tables very helpful. While you can input 6:12 into Google SketchUp to create your angles, the protractor only outputs inquiry values in angle format. You can use my Rafter Tables to convert the angle value to a roof slope. Need to find the angle to place a rafter, hip rafter or valley rafter? My Rafter Table gives you the number you need. Do you need to model a Hip Rafter with the correct backing? Do you need to model your Valley Rafter with the correct trough? Get the angle you need from my Rafter Table. I spent a great deal of time combing through numerous Framing/Construction books, the Internet and producing test Google SketchUp models to collect this data in one place for the use in AutoCAD Drafting and Google SketchUp modeling. Since I am using this data to do AutoCAD Drafting and/or Google SketchUp Modeling, I did not include data helpful to those actually working in the roofing trades. We have other means to aquire the jack rafter lengths for example, using extend, trim and/or push/pull. Your copy is free, please give credit where due when sharing copies.

Hot4CAD Nominal Lumber Sizes For AutoCAD, SketchUp.
A simple chart showing nominal lumber sizes and real world dimensions. Your copy is free, please give credit where due when sharing copies.
