Here at Ideate, we pride ourselves on being proactive in keeping our customers informed of Autodesk product service packs and hotfixes. Yesterday, the Autodesk AutoCAD Product Team released Hotfix 1 for AutoCAD 2017. Per the Readme file, Hotfix 1 addresses the following issues:
• Layers of Xrefs that are frozen in viewports are plotting ellipses.
• In some languages the model documentation commands are not working.
• The number of hits for GetLineContainment is incorrectly counted.
• Xrefs show as needing reloading when opened from a network path to a shared folder.
The easiest way for you to download and install Hotfix 1 is via the new Autodesk Desktop App. If the new Autodesk Desktop App didn’t display a notification in your system tray, go to the Windows start button→All Programs→Autodesk→Autodesk Desktop App.
Thank you for reading. For more information on other Autodesk products, and information on training and consulting for the various products Ideate services, visit our website at www.ideateinc.com.
