Changes and Improvements #
- Speed optimizations: HighDesign 6.0.2 is ~8.5% faster than version 6.0.1.
- Annotations with Spline leader style now calculate automatically the best profile for the leader. As a result, it is no longer possible to define the tangents of a spline leader.

- Graphic styles with gradients no longer include the coordinates of the start and end points.
