   AutoLUX can now run under AutoCAD LT®! (see details)

AutoLUX software is a collection of commands which are added to AutoCAD's standard reportoire. With these additional commands AutoCAD becomes a lighting site calculation engine as well as a drawing editor. Luminaires and target points enter the drawing as AutoCAD entities, and the calculated results are written as AutoCAD text. The full power of AutoCAD is available to you for manipulating all of these entities.

All of this, and ... you never have to touch a DXF file!

Free Evaluation / Download

To evaluate AutoLUX before you buy, and/or to purchase a license, follow these two steps:

  1. Install AutoLUX on your computer. There are two ways to do this:

    1. Download the AutoLUX Installation package. Once installed, AutoLUX will be ready to run in Demo Mode. Download size: about 1.8 megabytes. When installed, AutoLUX takes about 4 mb disk space. If you are ready to install now,
      choose one of the following options, according to your AutoCAD version:

    2. Call ITL at 303-442-1255 (in the UK call 01246 229444) and ask that an AutoLUX v7 disk be mailed to you. This option costs US$29 (US$35 to Canada, UK£ 20 in the UK, by quote elsewhere). In North America, existing ITL credit accounts may pay by purchase order; otherwise payment is by credit card.

    Run AutoLUX in Demo Mode as long as you need to evaluate it. As part of the installation process, the Installer writes the AutoLUX User's Guide to your hard drive -- filename "\Alux7\UsersGuide.htm". The Guide contains a straightforward tutorial.

  2. Purchase a license. (For prices see Licensing and Support.) To purchase a license fill out the order form on ITL's website and arrange payment as necessary with ITL. After payment has been made, you must provide ITL with the Site Code which is unique to your installation. To obtain the Site Code, use the AutoLUX Authorize command. Once you have the Site Code:

        Contact us for an Authorization Code. In most cases, we can provide an Authorization Code right away. Contact details:

    North America, etc. United Kingdom
    telephone 303-442-1255 01246 229444
    e-mail e-mail USA e-mail UK

    Once you have the Authorization Code, use the AutoLUX Authorize command to enter the Authorization Code. AutoLUX will then exit Demo Mode. No additional installation is required.

Note that ITL cannot provide an Authorization Code before you have installed AutoLUX, because your Site Code will not be available prior to installation.
