One of the new features is affecting your swan.
When you place callouts, PLIs, etc, relative to the CSI, LPub figures out the
bounding box of the collection, and then automatically centers the bounding box
on the page. You did this manually, and the two effects combined to offset your
callouts off the page. Remove your offset and it should automatically do what
you want.
I was going to wait until Brickworld to publish this list.
Here are some of the other new features:
1. Classic case of buffer exchange for exploded view assembly, LPub
automatically ignores parts added the second time. No more PLI BEGIN IGN/PLI END
or PART BEGIN IGN/PART END.
2. PLI's in callouts and step groups are automatically set to the width of the
CSI (if on top or bottom), or height (if on the side) for best packing.
3. Bill of Materials support is back
4. Resize/shape of PLI and BOM using click and drag with the mouse
5. When converting submodel to callout, LPub automatically adds arrows from the
callout, and automatically places the tip(s) in the center of where the called
out submodels are added to the step.
6. Added support for front and back cover pages
7. Added support for numbered pages
8. Add of arbitrary images to any page type
9. I think I got centimeters working
10. Export pages to a sequence of PNG/JPG or BMP images
11. Fixed issues in print to PDF
- the full page was not filled with background
- the page number was sometimes off page
- problems with centimeters
12. Modified how margins are applied to PLIs/BOMs
- Only instance margin used to separate image from instance text
- Only annotation margin used to separate image from annotation text
- Only part margin used to separate image/text from the next image/text
13. Added beam length annotation (like axles)

| (...) Oh, LPub also figures out the bounding box for things placed relative to step-groups and centers them. I also fixed problems with PLIs for step groups that do not have PLI per step. Kevin (15 years ago, 13-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)
