Feature Improvements

- Fixed issue where DPI scaling was not applied to tab names on the StartPage

- Separated licenses for EzGeom and EzSym (previously used together)

- Excluded extension lines between labels and actual coordinates/values from the BoundBox in Dimension measurements

- Fixed issue so that Polyline Shapes can be selected correctly

- Enabled rotation during Review copy operations
