Problems Reported with the Customer Error Reporting Utility in AutoCAD Architecture

As a result of detailed information from customers who used the Customer Error Reporting Utility, a number of problems were identified and fixed. Updates have been made in the following commands and features:

AEC Dimensions

  • Crash when saving a drawing originally in 2004 (or earlier) format, with AEC Dimensions on a locked layer.

Drawing Management

  • Intermittent crash when creating a Construct in Project Navigator, or when opening AutoCAD Architecture with a certain project current.

Grips

  • Occasional crash when editing grips for of structural members.

Layer Key

  • Fatal error when layer key overrides from tool palettes and layer key overrides of current layer standard do not match.

Open

  • Frequent crash when opening some drawings.

Sections

  • Occasional crash when modifying an object that is included in a section.
  • Crash while generating sections for big drawings or when using CreateHLR.

Schedules

  • Crash when exporting to Excel 2003 a Schedule table which includes a complex formula.

Walls

  • Occasional crash related to certain wall cleanup conditions.

Windows 8

  • Frequent crash when closing AutoCAD Architecture.

General Service Pack Updates in AutoCAD Architecture

The following defects have been fixed:

AEC Dimensions

  • Some AEC dimensions created before version 2007 do not display correctly in later versions.

Annotation Scaling

  • Some tags are very small when added to drawings that use meters.

Autodesk 360

  • Synchronizing tool palettes to Autodesk 360 is very slow. This capability has been disabled with this Service Pack.
  • Online Render does not support AutoCAD Architecture objects.

Doors

  • Some double door styles with custom profiles do not display correctly.

Elevation Labels

  • When an external reference is bound into the drawing, its elevation labels will be reset to zero.

IFC

  • Several improvements have been made to meet the requirements of IFC coordination view 2.0 and GSA certification.

Migration

  • Content browser migration may fail when migrations are done multiple times.

Progressive update

  • Characters in certain fonts do not display correctly when the AutoCAD system variable setEnableProgressiveUpdate is yes.

Roombook

  • In a Roombook schedule exported to Excel, the result is off by a factor of 1000 if the decimal symbol in Windows is set to comma.

Schedules

  • Schedules created by Roombook move slowly.
  • The total sum values may be incorrect in schedule tables when grouping is first turned on.
  • The width of the schedule frame may be incorrect when grouping several columns.

Sections

  • New or refreshed sections are not correct in AutoCAD Architecture 2013 as many lines are not hidden.

Sync

  • Due to the large number of files in the Tool Palette, syncing AutoCAD Architecture settings to the cloud is very slow.

Note: Once you apply Service Pack 1, you can no longer sync the AutoCAD Architecture Tool Palette to the cloud.
