As a result of detailed information from customers who used the Customer Error Reporting Utility, a number of issues in the following areas were identified and fixed in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 Update 2:

Audit
Corridor Design
Grading
Pipes
Parcels
Points
Profiles
Project Management
Surface
Survey
Toolbox

This update includes the resolution of the following issues.

Pipes

2D and 3D inside edge to inside edge pipe length values are calculated as expected.

Surfaces

The fix that enabled you to save surfaces to .mms files when an out of memory condition is encountered has been removed from AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 Update 2.1 due to unforeseen side effects.
Previously, when a named drawing containing large surfaces was autosaved, the .mms files saved in the temporary location along with the autosaved drawing, were being removed inadvertently, causing them to disappear. Now the .mms files are saved for surfaces containing two million or more points. The missing .mms file error message no longer appears when the drawing is closed and reopened.

Plotting

Using the Etransmit command no longer results in the program closing unexpectedly.

Surfaces

Deleting a surface edge using a Fence selection no longer causes the program to close unexpectedly.
The slope and slope arrow color schemes set in the surface style are now correctly applied to surface properties.
Several issues have been resolved that were causing out of memory messages to display when working with large surfaces.
There is a workaround to prevent the display of memory errors when working with large surfaces. Once a surface has to stop drawing due to an out of memory error, all surfaces in any drawing you save are saved in external files for the remainder of the current session. If you encounter this issue, please take the following steps:

Survey

The MOD ELS BY command now returns the expected results for control points and non-control points.
Importing a field book with incomplete coding no longer causes the program to close unexpectedly.
Sea Level factors are now calculated from the Mean Elevation. Previously, the sea level factor was calculated from the Instrument Elevation.

This update includes the resolution of over 100 issues. This section of the readme documents the resolved issues that previously caused loss of data, unexpected failures of Civil 3D, or reflect a change in functionality.

General

You can now open a drawing in Civil 3D 2009 that was created in a previous version. Previously, the program would close unexpectedly in certain situations.
Selecting Arbitrary X-Y Coordinate System on the Units and Zones tab in the Drawing Settings dialog box no longer causes the program to close unexpectedly.
Inserting a block from a tool palette no longer causes the program to close unexpectedly.
The shortcut notification window in a client drawing is now displayed when the source drawing is modified and saved.
When you create a deployment and add a shortcut name in the shortcut parameter, such as "/p c:\profile.arg", the program no longer closes unexpectedly when you attempt to install using the deployment.
Object styles persist as expected when you use the Copy and Paste commands on objects. Previously, using these commands to copy and paste objects would randomly cause some object styles to disappear.
Closing a drawing no longer causes the Toolspace Prospector window to close unexpectedly.
A temporary drawing object that is created when you use the View/Edit Corridor Section command is now being deleted when you exit the command.
Creating parcel lot lines, alignments, and grading feature lines from an xref entity no longer causes the Audit command to issue an error about invalid linetypes.
Inserting a drawing that contains proxies no longer causes the program to close unexpectedly.

API

When using the API extension dictionary, objects are now properly propagated across data references for all object types.
Performance is improved when you use AeccPoints:: AddMultiple() to add points.
In the AeccSettingsSurfaceBuildOptions object, the values for ElevationMin and ElevationMax are now correct. Previously these values were reversed.
AeccStyle:: ExportTo() no longer displays a Map error dialog box.
The AeccPipe:: ConnectToStructure() method now works as expected when you call the Disconnect() method.
AeccPoints::ImportPoints() now works as expected. Previously, the program would close unexpectedly when running this command in a file with duplicate point numbers.
The AeccParcel:: AddSingleSegmentLabel() and AeccParcel:: AddMultipleSegmentLabels() methods now work as expected.
The AeccSurveyLandXMLPropertiesRoot:: getitems() method now returns the LandXML extended properties for the object. Previously, the method returned the LandXML properties for the survey database.

Corridor Design and Subassemblies

Alignments, feature lines, polylines, and profiles created from corridor feature lines are now created at the correct location.
Material volume calculations are now computed correctly for subassemblies that contain structural parts. Previously, in situations where these subassemblies overlapped it resulted in crossing line segments and omitted material in the material volume calculations.
Material volume calculations are now consistent across stations in situations where surface overhang causes surfaces to join incorrectly in the cross section view.
Layers now work as expected when you insert a DWG that contains a corridor as an xref. Previously, the layer settings were ignored.
Using the View/Edit Corridor Section command when data references are broken no longer causes the program to close unexpectedly.
Hatch components are now configured properly in section views. Previously, they displayed as solid black.
Using the View/Edit Corridor Section command to edit the lane width of the LaneInsideSuperLayerVaryingWidth subassembly now works as expected.
The Import Subassembly command now supports a package file that contains multiple localized languages. At import time the localized language that matches the installation will be extracted.

Cross Section Views

Cross sections now update consistently and reflect changes that are made to the corridor using the View/Edit Corridor Section command.
Sample line label visibility is now determined by the sample line layer. Previously, the visibility was determined from the sample line group layer.
The section 1 and section 2 columns are now correctly displayed by default in the Section View Bands dialog box. Previously, they were hidden by default.
Corridor sections that are included as xrefs in a drawing are now drawn as expected.

Grading and Feature Lines

Elevations at grading projection line points can now be edited. Previously, in situations where the start or end of a grading touched a PI point of the feature line, those elevations could not be edited.
Creating a feature line from an alignment and then attempting to weed the feature line using the Options button on the Feature Line Properties dialog box no longer causes the program to close unexpectedly.
Creating a feature line from an alignment, with the Weed Points option cleared, now creates the feature line with correct data. Previously, the feature line would extend beyond the length of the associated profile and it would ignore the specified elevation values.
Using the Create Feature Lines From Alignment command and selecting the option to Weed Points no longer causes the program to close unexpectedly.
Creating a feature line from a polyline now creates critical curves. Previously, there were conversion errors in situations where there were very short lines between two arcs.
Editing the curve radius on a feature line no longer causes the program to become unresponsive.
Using the Stepped Offset command no longer causes the program to become unresponsive.
Grading feature lines created from a corridor feature line that contains gaps or breaks are now created in the correct location.
Daylight lines are now created correctly for gradings that overlap each other.
Surfaces are now built correctly from grading groups. Previously, the grading surface did not always respect the grading results. To ensure correct results when you open a drawing, you should rebuild the surface.
Erasing a grading, using the Undo command, and then saving the drawing no longer causes the program to close unexpectedly when you try to reopen the drawing.
Several issues involving grading objects and feature lines on locked layers have been resolved and the program no longer closes unexpectedly when the drawing is saved or the layer is unlocked.
Creating a grading transition with a near-zero distance is no longer allowed. Previously, entering values smaller than 0.0001 would cause the program to close unexpectedly.

The Labels Properties dialog box now displays the specified reference text object name.
The Vertical Reverse Curve Intersect Geometry Point label now has the correct abbreviation, VRC. Previously, the text displayed as VCC.
Important: Existing drawings that contain labels for compound/reverse curve points will not be updated. You must delete the existing labels and then re-label the geometry points for the labels to have the correct values.

Lines Curves

Using the Curve Calculator after using the Create Curve commands no longer causes the program to close unexpectedly.

Object Enabler

Important: The Civil Object Enabler is a separate install. You must uninstall and then reinstall the Civil Object Enabler in order for the following changes to take effect. You can download the most recent version of the Object Enabler at: http://usa.autodesk.com/getdoc/id=DL11092427

You can now add a part family to a parts list.
When you lay out pipes, the program now accepts the point that you select on screen as an endpoint. Previously, the program would randomly ignore the selected point and the command line would continue to prompt you to select a point.

Plan Production

Sheet numbers on match lines are now resolved if the Sheet Set Manager .DST file is moved from its original location to a supported search path location.
Matchline text is now displayed in sheets that are placed into a new drawing that contains multiple view frame groups.

Points

In situations where child overrides exist in point labels, the arrow is now displayed in the Edit Label Styles dialog box to indicate the override.
The program no longer closes unexpectedly when you open drawings using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 As AutoCAD.
