AUTOCAD CLIENT- =============== Fixed the following issues: - AutoCAD 2006 crash during an undo of a CUTCLIP operation of all objects which include missing XREF's. - In Mechanical Desktop 2006 with Vault 4 installed setting the system variable XLOADCTL = 2 and then opening a dwg in some cases caused a crash. - Error when checking in an AutoCAD Mecanical companion file when the autogenerate dwf option is turned on. - The system color changing during the opening of a dwg in some cases causes the Vault to crash. VAULT MANAGER- ============== Fixed the following issues: - Attaching a vault from a release prior to Productstream 4 (Vault 4.1) will result in an error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". - Failure to migrate data to Productstream 4 (Vault 4.1) if files contain custom properties. If you encounter this issue, install Productstream 4 without migrating. Then install Productstream 4 sp2 and migrate your data. - Files containing invalid property data in their iProperties do not get properties extracted. The fix will skip invalid properties and add all valid properties. VAULT EXPLORER- =============== Fixed the following issues: - During a Copy Design operation, if the state (reuse, copy, rename) is changed multiple times it may get out of synch. The state may show copy when it should state reuse. - Copy design may include too many related files when the copy includes an OLE link of BMP in a drawing. - When the option to include children only in a copy design operation, the target idw is not copied - File rename operation takes a long time to complete for some files with many references. ================================================================================== SERVICE PACK DOWNLOAD LOCATION ============================== Locate the Autodesk Vault 4 service pack 2 file at: http://www.autodesk.com ================================================================================== We want to thank all our customers who identified these issues and reported them to us.
