C3D-PSINSPECT2 · Inspect paper space v2 (read-only) done

Layout paper size/orientation, border block, viewports.

C# payload

// READ-ONLY: inspect paper space layouts + the border block, to plan the portrait->landscape fit.
// For each layout: plot paper size + orientation, the block references in paper space (name, position,
// scale, rotation, extents), and viewports.
