Publish high-quality PDF files directly from AutoCAD LT 2010. TrueType® fonts in a drawing are exported as text, enabling you to highlight, search, and copy text in the PDF viewer.

Hatch an area using one of several predefined hatch patterns. Use island detection to control whether areas inside the boundary are hatched. Easily edit the boundaries of a hatch, even if it’s not associated with a specific object.

AutoCAD LT makes it easier than ever before to add annotations to your drawings. Gain greater control over dimension and multileader text placement and multileader segment properties. Create and modify text styles without exiting the Multileader Style dialog box.

Attach an entire drawing file (DWF, DWFx, DGN, or PDF) to your current drawing as an externally referenced drawing (xref). With xrefs, changes made in the referenced drawing are reflected in the current drawing. You can use xrefs to better coordinate with team members and to build drawings without significantly increasing the drawing file size.

Save time by using blocks to standardize components. Add dynamic properties to blocks and include attributes in block definitions.

While AutoCAD LT 2010 cannot create parametric constraints, it can view, use, or delete them if they have already been created with AutoCAD® 2010 software.

The Quick Access toolbar includes New, Open, Save, Plot, Undo, Redo, and other commonly used tools. Easily customize it by removing tools, adding separators between tools, and displaying the Quick Access toolbar above or below the ribbon.

Move, rotate, and scale objects to align them with other objects using the new Align command. Change the direction of lines, polylines, or splines with the new Reverse command. The Distance and Area commands are now combined into the more powerful Measure Geometry tool. AutoCAD LT 2010 also includes new viewport rotation options and spline conversion options.

Display properties using fields. These special text objects store the properties of objects or drawings. When a property—for example, the length of a line, the area of a polyline, or the name of a layout— changes, the fields will automatically update

Save specified views by name, restoring them for layout and plotting, or when you need to refer to specific details. Use viewports of any size or shape to show multiple views of your drawing on one layout.

Attach hyperlinks to any graphical object in an AutoCAD LT drawing to jump to files—such as other drawings, project schedules, or web pages—associated with the drawing.

Use the Publish command to create a multi-sheet DWF™, DWFx, or PDF file, or to create a paper drawing set by publishing the drawings to the plotter named in each layout’s page setup. Or use the Plot command to print drawings one at a time to a variety of formats.
