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:

This update includes the resolution of the following issues.

Pipes

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.

This update includes the resolution of over 70 issues. This section of the readme documents the resolved issues that previously caused loss of data or unexpected failures of Civil 3D, or reflect a change in functionality.

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:
        1. On the Display Tab on the Surface Style dialog box, turn off the display of all components except borders.
        2. Turn off Automatic Save in the AutoCAD Options dialog box. The use of Automatic Save after an out of memory error may result in the program closing unexpectedly.
        3. Save the drawing and exit the program. When you reopen the drawing, the surface is displayed as expected with no memory errors.

  • Data shortcut references now work as expected when you open the drawing using the AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 As AutoCAD. Previously, all data shortcut references were broken.
  • Undoing a check out of a file, and then deleting the file and the folder in Vault Explorer, no longer causes the program to close unexpectedly when you attempt to add a file to the project from Civil 3D.
  • Shortcuts are now linked to the correct project. Previously, the absolute path of shortcuts was saved during a temporary save and that caused the shortcuts to be linked to incorrect projects.

Surfaces

  • Turning on the display of points in the surface style for a large surface no longer causes the program to close unexpectedly.
  • Surfaces created from DEM .asc files will use the drawing units if no unit is specified in the .asc file.
  • Creating a surface from a DEM that has the Files of Type set to ESRI Binary Grid (*.adf) no longer causes the program to close unexpectedly.
  • Computing a volume surface no longer causes the program to close unexpectedly.
  • Using the Bounded Volumes command now returns the correct volumes.
  • Rebuilding a grading surface after moving the end of a feature line no longer causes the program to close unexpectedly.
  • Using the Surface Properties command on a finished ground surface no longer causes the program to close unexpectedly.
  • Negative contour lines are now displayed correctly. Previously, if surface data that existed in the specified contour range consisted of a single data point, negative contour lines were not displayed for the surface.
