Who Should Install This Hot Fix?

This Hot Fix is for all versions of Autodesk Civil 3D 2006 Service Pack 2 running on English-language and non-English-language operating systems. Autodesk Civil 3D 2006 Service Pack 2 must be installed before you can install this Hot Fix.

Important: You cannot run an automatic uninstall to remove this Hot Fix. It is recommended that you make a back up of the affected files as described in the installation instructions so they can be restored if necessary.

• The Model 3D Solid display representations of structures are now created correctly on the layer specified in Network Properties. Previously, structures were created on the layer that was current at the time the part was created and the structure layer could not be reset. This was causing a problem with the structures disappearing if the layer was frozen. Structures in existing drawings will automatically be set to the correct layer when the drawing loads.
• Structure blocks are drawn in profile view at their correct widths. Previously, the structure width shown in profile view was affected by how the structure block was positioned relative to the alignment in plan view. For example, in plan view, if the structure was rotated relative to the alignment, the rotated width was used in the profile view.
  
  Note: If you want pipe parts to be masked in profile view (so pipes are not drawn behind the structure), the suggested procedure is to use blocks in profiles and enable part masking.
• Changing the end crown elevation on a pipe correctly changes the ending elevation instead of the starting elevation.
• An issue has been resolved regarding grading to a surface which is a reference (shortcut). If the grading contained transitions, and the project was renamed so the reference could not be found, the drawing could get into a state where it could not be reopened.
• Manually added labels on alignments which are referenced (shortcuts) are now preserved between drawing sessions.
