This feature effectively turned AutoCAD into a hybrid 2D CAD system, rivaling high-end mechanical design software. For civil engineers drawing road alignments or mechanical engineers designing parts, this meant fewer errors. If you changed the diameter of a bolt hole, the surrounding washer would update automatically.
For the first time, you could attach a directly as an underlay. You didn't have to convert it to a fuzzy TIFF or re-draw it from scratch. You just hit PDFATTACH , snapped to the geometry, and traced away. It made retrofitting old projects 10x faster.
