R3PROPERTIES custom length and area units now display correctly
Traverse — fixed entry issue in feet and inches
Smart Strings — multiple Stringer fixes: DeleteElevation, IntersectWith angle tolerance, ActionIf wildcard expressions, Polyline() drawing over Line() global settings
Smart Strings — warning messages now show fieldbook point number instead of internal index
Smart Strings — StringerDrawerC3D now correctly imports FB numbers; fixed point layers being overwritten to Layer 0
Swing commands — can now select a polyline leg to get its bearing
LandXML import — uncoded points (e.g. from Measure to Line) no longer skipped
Dh command — decimal places reduced to a sensible number
Dump — safely exports A1–A8 and FB fields; DumpIn now has selectable import options

R3OFFSET — offset lines, arcs, polylines, polyline segments (Ctrl+pick), and circles with unit conversion
R3SCALE — scale entities from one unit to another
R3IMPORTLANDXML — import LandXML parcels and points
Survey Plan Layers — new UI for configuring plan layer data
Warning at traverse start when a swing is active

VBA macros now load and run correctly
Traverse now accepts DMS bearings starting with a decimal point (e.g. .52 for 0°52'00")
Swings no longer persist incorrectly when opening a new drawing
"Disable Swings" setting now persists between sessions

Swing / layers: Configure plans and layers before drawing — renaming layers afterwards can cause issues
Custom units: Editing a custom length unit resets the current input unit to metres; set input units again after editing
Feet and inches: .11 is not accepted as 0'-11" — always include the leading zero
