Service Pack Updates
Fixes
that apply to AutoCAD P&ID Only:
SQL Server
·
An AutoCAD P&ID 2012 project using an SQL Server database and
SQL Server Authentication could not migrate to AutoCAD P&ID 2013. Windows
Authentication is not affected by this issue.
Fixes
that apply to AutoCAD P&ID and Plant 3D:
Off-Page Connectors
·
If a P&ID drawing is
removed from a project and then added again, you cannot reconnect the off-page
connectors.
A360
·
You could not log out of
Autodesk 360 after signing in using the Options dialog box.
Fixes
that apply to AutoCAD Plant 3D only:
Isometrics
·
Wye and lateral tee
fittings did not display correctly in isometric drawings. This fix requires an
update to the Iso style. You can copy the updated Iso style files from ISOProjectTemplates in
the program folder to the Isometric
folder in your project. Doing this will overwrite changes made to your existing
Iso style.
Updating Individual Project Iso Style Files: To avoid losing all changes
to your Iso style, you can copy files directly from the ISOProjectTemplates
folder in the downloaded ZIP to your project. Copy from the ZIP and overwrite
files of the same name in your project. In doing so, you avoid losing
customizations in files that are not updated in the hotfix (for example:
changes to Iso.dwt
will not be lost).
·
Weld
annotations near other welds did not always indicate the correct weld.
·
If an
isometric drawing split into two sheets, weld numbers would always reset for
each sheet.
To set weld numbers to each
sheet, you can now change the ContinuousIndexing value to "true" for
the Index element in isoconfig.xml.
·
Pipe supports (welded
stanchions and dummy Legs) were disconnected in isometric drawings and the PCF
file. Also, string dimensions for dummy legs used the attachment point instead
of the elbow center.
·
Some
end types (for example: Lined Flange LFL, Triclover TC, and BPE from ASME
catalogs) were not correct in isometric drawings and the PCF file.
·
Welds
connecting pipe supports to piping did not display in the isometric drawing.
This fix requires that you change the port property of pipe supports to PL or
BV (from Undefined_ET). Port properties for spec-based pipe supports can be
modified using the catalog editor and added to pipesupports.pspx using the spec editor.
The pipe supports catalog is CPak
Common\SUPPORTS Catalog.acat in the content folder. You can use the
properties palette to set the end type for non-spec pipe supports created using
plantpipesupportadd.
·
Some
attributes did not display in the Insert Title Block Attributes dialog box.
Also, duplicate attributes could be placed.
·
Elevation
annotations were added to the iso drawing at branch connections even if the
elevation did not change.
·
Olets
added unnecessary coordinate information in the iso drawing. Also, plugs
connecting to Olets displayed incorrectly.
·
Valves
would sometimes appear disconnected at flanged connections in the iso drawing.
·
The
dimension previews did not display clearly in Isometric DWG Settings.
·
U elbows,
Triclover elbows, pressure relief valves, and tapered crosses did not always
display correctly in the iso drawing.
·
The
coordinates on connection annotations (cont'd on) were not always correct.
·
Pipe
supports that are combined (Supports on Supports) sometimes caused an
additional iso sheet to be created.
·
Elevation
annotations unnecessarily displayed in spool drawings and with coordinate
annotations.
Piping
·
Insulation did not
display on bent pipe.
Pipe Supports
·
Dummy leg pipe supports
did not position correctly (perpendicular to piping) when attached to pipe in
the 3D Model.
·
When
attaching pipe supports to elbows, some supports did not snap to the bottom of
pipe (BOP) as expected.
·
Associative
dimensions in paper space did not update correctly for plant objects.
·
Performance
was slow with a large number of line groups.
Structure
·
Structural steel
dimensions for some shapes were incorrect.
Orthographics
·
Ortho annotations did
not always display correct units and precision.
·
Ortho
drawings saved outside the project folder would not work.

2013 Service Pack 1.1 is included in this service pack. For a list of primary
