In our continued effort to provide more immediate fixes to common problems we have released another Hotfix update today. A large focus of this hotfix was to improve some of the legacy Undo clearing problems that customers have reported. There are 5 particular areas where we think this was commonly occurring and this update will address those problems. The time configuration example is one area that was possibly causing the "random" Undo problems for animators.

Please use the following links to download and install the Hotfix.

This hotfix addresses the following issues:

Localized Versions
When running the English version of 3ds Max / 3ds Max Design on a Japanese OS, or the English version of 3ds Max on an English OS with Language for non-Unicode programs set to Japanese, the mouse pointer now works correctly when using the ParticleFlow Particle View window. The pointer is no longer offset from the cursor when you drag an item onto a node.

Materials
When creating a new material that uses bitmaps, the bitmaps did not save with the material when saved to a library. Now when saving to a custom library, the bitmap and its full path are saved correctly.

Maxscript
When encrypting a Maxscript file (encryptscript YourMaxScript.ms), the file would generate an error when executing the resulting encrypted file (YourMaxScript.mse). This error would also occur when reading from an encrypted MaxScript file. These issues are resolved.

Parameter Wiring
When Resetting a Scene Parameter, Wire Sub-Controllers would be removed due to the Maxscript Garbage Collection clean-up process. This only occurred when the scene was Reset or an XRef tree was deleted. It did not occur when exiting with a scene Open. This clean-up procedure was fixed for all instances of scene change states.

Undo
Various instances where an action would not appear in the Undo Stack have been resolved. There is no longer an issue when:

- Loading the Render To Texture (RTT) dialog by pressing a keyboard shortcut while in the middle of a mouse operation in the viewport, where the mouse operation has started a hold, but not yet accepted or canceled the hold.
- Switching focus away from 3ds Max/3ds Max Design and then back while in the middle of a mouse operation in Trackview, where the mouse operation has started a hold, but not yet accepted or canceled the hold.
- Performing any actions after opening the Time Configuration dialog and clicking OK. New actions would not appear in the Undo stack. This was not a problem if you made changes in the Time Configuration dialog.
- Performing a file reset by pressing a keyboard shortcut while in the middle of a mouse operation in the viewport, where the mouse operation has started a hold, but not yet accepted or canceled the hold.
- Switching focus away from 3ds max and then back while in the middle of a mouse operation in the viewport, where the mouse operation has started a hold, but not yet accepted or canceled the hold.


Note: This Hotfix includes all previous hotfixes for Autodesk 3ds Max 2010.
