Export to DWF™ and Export to PDF options
have been split, and they each have their

objects such as images, blocks, fields, etc.).

You set up the variables and their preferred
settings (although you’ll find some popular

notifications to display at the command line,
on the Status bar icon, or even enable a
balloon notification should a variable on your
monitored system variable list be changed.
Xref Enhancements
Control the display of layers from xref draw-

down list (since you can’t pick them anyway!).

Productivity Improvements
Layout names are automatically displayed as
