This hotfix resolves intermittent issues with a few commands in AutoCAD Mechanical 2009 and Autodesk Mechanical Desktop 2009 after applying Service Pack 3. Please refer to the problem description for the commands involved. Please follow the instructions below to install this hotfix.
Please note that most users who have applied Service Pack 3 should apply this hotfix (i.e. the ge_page.dll file replacement) even if you do not encounter the problems described in this readme. For users that encounter the problems, you may then run the additional steps to resolve the problems that you encountered.

2. AMLANGCONV might not be working correctly in some situations.
