Problems Reported Through the Customer Error Reporting Utility
Based on detailed information from customers using the Customer Error Reporting Utility, we identified and fixed several defects, including the following:
| Autodesk Assistant |
| Occasional crashes when double-clicking the Autodesk Assistant button on the ribbon from the Start tab. |
| Blocks |
| Occasional crashes when copying a block with Ctrl+C after using WBLOCK to write the entire drawing to a new file. |
| Occasional crashes when right-clicking an entire drawing block that contains nested blocks in the Design Center palette. |
| Occasional crashes when deleting a block from a tool palette while a block insertion is still in progress. |
| Plot and Publish |
| Occasional crashes when importing or attaching certain PDF files using PDFIMPORT or PDFATTACH. |
| Occasional crashes when plotting with transparency enabled to a third-party PDF printer while the drawing contains a DWF underlay. |
| Sheet Set Manager |
| Occasional crashes when two co-editors of a connected sheet set create a new subset with the same default name at nearly the same time. |
| Trace |
| Occasional crashes when working with checked-out objects during a shared (collaboration) session. |
| General |
| Occasional crashes when switching between drawings, zooming, or changing the visual style after editing text. |
| Occasional crashes when repeatedly opening and closing certain drawings in the same session with Raster Design installed. |
| Occasional out-of-memory crashes when scanning objects with Geometry Cleanup in certain large drawings. |
| Occasional crashes when closing AutoCAD with certain add-on applications installed. |
| Occasional crashes when checking a drawing into Vault that contains unexpected entries in the image dictionary. |
| Occasional crashes when hiding xref and underlay frames in certain drawings. |
General Update Content
The following defects have been fixed:
| Count |
| COUNT now detects all matching block instances in a drawing, including those positioned at the edges of the count area. |
| A count field tied to a count area now stays valid after you WBLOCK the entire drawing to a new file. |
| Display |
| Models now render correctly in the Realistic visual style when hardware-accelerated Fast Shaded mode is enabled. |
| In-place editing of an associative array no longer switches the visual style, eliminating the regenerations that previously slowed entering and exiting the edit. |
| Geometry Cleanup |
| The Geometry Cleanup palette now refreshes to display the correct remaining errors after errors are fixed in the Block Editor and you return to the Model tab. |
| Geometry Cleanup error markers no longer display with an exaggerated heavy lineweight when you hover over them while lineweight display is on and hardware acceleration is off. |
| Multiline Text and Text |
| MText objects now update immediately when the font assigned to their text style is changed in the Text Style dialog box, matching the behavior of single-line text. |
| Text and block attribute text now display with correct alignment and spacing after a regeneration, fixing incorrect spacing that appeared with certain fonts. |
| MText and multileader text whose text style was corrected by CHECKSTANDARDS now update in the drawing after you run REGEN or REGENALL. |
| Performance |
| Object selection now responds faster, resolving a performance regression where selection operations were slower than expected. |
| AutoCAD now starts quickly regardless of the Windows display language, resolving long startup times that occurred when the system was set to any language other than English. |
| AutoCAD now maintains consistent performance throughout long sessions, preventing background console processes from accumulating and causing progressive slowdown. |
| Plot and Publish |
| Images inside a polygonal viewport are now plotted correctly when printing to GDI-based drivers such as Adobe PDF. |
| Drawings now rotate correctly in the plotted output when Landscape orientation is set in both the printer's custom properties and the Plot dialog box. |
| Sheet names in PDFs published from Sheet Set Manager using page setup overrides are now correct, rather than all sheets reusing the name of the first sheet. |
| A solid hatch inside a clipped external reference now plots completely when plotting the layout. |
| Start Tab |
| Thumbnails are now generated and shown for cloud-stored project drawings without requiring you to open and resave each drawing. |
| The lock status shown for cloud project drawings now updates automatically when you open or close a drawing. |
| Cloud drawing icons in the Start tab Recent list now remain correct after opening additional drawings. |
| Drawing thumbnails in the Start tab Recent list now update automatically when you save changes to an open drawing, without requiring a manual refresh. |
| Sheet Set Manager |
| You can now create a cloud sheet set when the description contains line breaks, and the structure of other cloud sheet sets displays correctly in the Sheet Set Manager list afterward. |
| Sheet Set Manager for AutoCAD Web can now publish sheet set projects that were created in the classic Sheet Set Manager and stored in Forma Data Management. |
| Sheet and sheet set property changes made by one user are now synced to another user who is editing properties of the same cloud sheet set at the same time. |
| Cleared default standard include options in a Sheet Set Manager transmittal setup are now retained after you close and reopen the sheet set. |
| The sheet creation template and page setup overrides are now retained when a sheet set created in the web-based Sheet Set Manager is later opened in the connected Sheet Set Manager. |
| General |
| AutoCAD now works normally when opening a drawing after Windows Update KB5083769 is installed. |
| Attached bitonal TIFF images now invert correctly against the drawing background again, so a white image background turns dark on a dark canvas. |
| Ordinate dimensions no longer shift when you change the UCS, save, and reopen a drawing while UCSVP is set to 0. |
| The main customization (CUIx) file now keeps its loaded status when a project customization (CUIx) file is added as a partial CUI and you then switch to a drawing outside the project. |
| The "Open with" dialog box can now be canceled when opening a non-markup DWF file from the Markup Set Manager on Windows 11. |
| The screen displays correctly after you change LTSCALE in model space inside a layout viewport. |
| The GEOLOCATION online map now loads correctly behind a firewall, displaying the map instead of only the location marker. |
| You can again drag the Layer State ribbon combo box onto the QAT in the CUI Editor, restoring behavior from earlier releases. |
| Uploading changes from a linked table back to its source Microsoft Excel file on OneDrive now succeeds instead of reporting that the data link could not be updated. |
| Using Open File Location no longer leaves an orphaned File Explorer process running in the background after you close the File Explorer window. |
| When a drawing is saved with SAVEAS to save a drawing to a new file, AutoCAD now performs a full save so the file size no longer grows unnecessarily with each save. |
| Hatch patterns saved in older drawings now display correctly instead of showing only their boundaries. |
| The LAYISO command now runs correctly when started from the ribbon or command line. |
| The Properties palette and Tool Palettes window now maintain their correct stacking order when you switch between project-aware and non-project-aware drawings. |
| All objects now display correctly in a viewport after creating a viewport with MVIEW. |
| The Drawing Compare toolbar now appears when you run a drawing comparison after having already run an external reference comparison in the same session. |
| The Blocks palette block detection now excludes checked-out objects, the same way it already skips objects on locked layers, preventing merge conflicts. |
| The Windows taskbar now displays the correct product icon when AutoCAD-based products, such as Autodesk Civil 3D and AutoCAD Electrical, are installed side by side. |
