In addition to the controls in the Drafting Standard dialog box, the Drawing View functionality leverages 
layers to organize and format geometry. 
Exporting Layouts 
The Export Layout tool has been updated to support new 2D View functionality in AutoCAD 2012. You 
can access this tool from the Save As>Save Layout as Drawing option in the Application menu. 
Annotation 
Mtext Enhancements 
The Mtext background mask has been updated to remember the last used fill color and border offset 
factor rather than always defaulting to red and 1.5. 
MLeader Enhancements 
To have more control over your leaders, you can now change the gap around Mleader text in a text frame. 
You can also extend the leader line to the text rather than ending at the text bounding box. Access the 
MLeader improvements in the Multleader Style dialog box. 
When the Frame Text property is enabled, the Landing gap value specifies the distance between the text 
and the text frame.
