AutoCAD Architecture 2010 Product Update 1

I installed ACA 2010 on a new machine today and noticed that Update 1 was available via the setup interface and was able to also download and include it directly during the installation. Very nice!

Knowledge Base document: AutoCAD Architecture 2010 Product Update 1 includes downloads for both 32-bit and 64-bit as well as the Readme.

The following defects have been fixed in AutoCAD Architecture 2010 Update 1:

AEC Dimensions

Multiple overlapping windows may lead to incorrect dimensions.

API

AutoCAD Architecture might crash when trying to define a Display Theme style using .NET API.

IFC

Slabs may have the wrong elevation when imported from an IFC file due to an incorrect thickness offset.

Exporting a drawing to IFC may create incorrect IFC GUIDs for AEC objects.

Importing IFC files that contain certain material settings may crash.

Space exported to IFC have the IFC type of IFCTYPEOBJECT instead of IFCSPACETYPE.

Layers

The "New layer from Standard" button doesn't work in localized versions.

Layer description fields are not automatically populated in all cases.

Performance

Response is very slow when using Dynamic UCS and objects are Isolated.

Property Palette

Changing an entry to one that is the first characters of the previous entry will not work in some fields.

Schedules

Schedules are not sorted as expected when values are a combination of numeric and alphabetic characters.

Sections

Some objects imported from Inventor display as points in 2D Sections.

Structural Members

Custom block based on 3D Solids using Boolean operations are always placed at the start point.

Wall Objects

AutoCAD Architecture might hang when opening certain drawings that contain modified Wall Endcaps.

Window openings may not be created due to Wall Plan Modifiers.

Using Refedit on a block containing Wall Object may cause a crash.
