Resolved Issues in this Hot Fix

Feature	Resolved Issue
Autodesk Materials	A program error occurred if the Autodesk Materials were uninstalled and Autosave or Save was used. The error no longer occurs and the files are saved correctly. Autodesk Materials presets failed to load correctly on operating systems that used commas to define decimals; these presets now load correctly in this environment.
Autodesk^® FBX^®	An empty scene was created when loading RPC assets from Autodesk^® Revit^® through FBX. An empty scene is no longer loaded. When using Autodesk Revit 2011, FBX texture maps were using GUID labels for naming texture maps; texture maps now use their appropriate file names.
Help	The "Download Vegetation" link in the Help menu now loads the proper page.
Lights	When importing IES lights their orientation would rotate, this rotation no longer occurs.
mental ray^®	When using mental ray proxies and setting mental ray to use BSP2 when rendering to a sequence, some of the memory was not released . This has been fixed. When setting mental ray to use BSP2 in 64-bit versions of 3ds Max, speckled artifacts could appear when rendering; these artifacts no longer occur.
Performance	The program error on start-up when using sixteen or more CPU cores has been fixed; also, all cores are now used.
Slate Material Editor	When minimizing the Slate Material Editor, the keyboard kept selection focus with the result that the Delete key wouldn’t work; this has been corrected.
