“This hotfix addresses two main issues. The DWG import/File Link may cause problems upon reloading a DWG. In addition, several options in the help menu were not working correctly.”

Here we go again…

Has anyone installed this yet?  Any issues with it?  And a big Thank You in advance to all who post-up their results with this :) .

Why aren’t these Hotfixs announced?

Interesting you shld say ... some problem seems to keep surfacing after every new version
why cant we just nail “the bugs” to the door?

I agree. That outline hotfix (which I just now became aware of) sure would have come in handy a few weeks ago when I was pulling my hair out trying to make an outline using a spline! Sheesh!

There’s an RSS feed on the main Updates & Service Packs page. There’s an email notification signup link there as well.
Also consider a page change detection service such as changedetection.com.

I still reckon they should notify subscription members automatically - we shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to find out about these patches.

How do you do the email notification sifn up?

Try clicking the link which says “Sign Up for Email” - bottom left corner of the page, level with the RSS icon.

“Sign Up for Email” is more than just update info, it essentially puts you on the Autodesk spam list. ;)

I wouldn’t know about that having never signed up for it. I used to get some “spam” from them as a result of being on subscription, but there wasn’t enough to worry about. Problem is that it stopped arriving some time ago and I don’t know why.
