In November 1993, Autodesk announced ``AutoCAD LT'', which had
been developed under the code-name ``Madison.'' AutoCAD LT,
priced at $495, became the first product in the company's
history priced below $1000 to bear the name ``AutoCAD.''
The specifications of AutoCAD LT invite comparison with the
original concept of an ``AutoCAD Lite'' penned more than nine
years earlier (see page
), and the
specifications of the ``Windows Engineer'' envisioned in the
``Nightmare Scenario'' of Information Letter 14 (see page
).
