In addition to fixes listed above, SR-1 also corrects the following:

AutoCAD DWG filter improvements:
- When you convert an AutoCAD DWG file that contains nested blocks, the subblocks are not converted.
- When you open a Visio DWG file in AutoCAD, measurement units change from millimeters to inches.
- When you save your file as DWG or DXF and then reopen it in Visio, objects in the upper left quadrant shift to the lower left quadrant and objects in the lower right quadrant shift to the lower left quadrant.
- When you export a file, the size or length of text changes and the text extends outside of the shape. TrueType font sizes are expanded to 33% of original size.
- When you convert text attributes that contain a quotation mark (") indicating inches, the result is blank or the number 0.
When you attept to calculate area by using the Shape Area and Perimeter tool, area is incorrectly calculated in millimeters.
If you attempt to input dates prior to 1/1/1900 in the Timeline solution, Visio stops responding (hangs).
In an organization chart, if you use the Compare Organization Data feature, the changes are listed twice in the report.
If you installed Visio by using active directory advertising, the DWG conversion filter fails to install on first use.
When Visio 2002 is distributed or deployed as part of a hard disk image, Enterprise or Select users may be asked to activate the product.
