It corrects the behavior of justified ANSI dimensions. 2. It forces the user to specify a papersize when printing to the system printer and selecting the Fit To Page and/or Center On Page options. 3. The portrait/landscape orientation of print requests through the new Plot COM interface has been fixed to work when the user just changes the orientation angle.
