General Information

Important: You cannot run an automatic uninstall to remove this Hot Fix. To restore your version of Autodesk Raster Design 2005 to its pre-update state, uninstall Autodesk Raster Design 2005 and reinstall it.

Summary of Update

This update addresses the following issues:

1.      Faster image display, pan and zoom. This update will significantly improve the display performance as well as panning and zooming speeds for all image types especially when image editing is involved.

2.      Ability to save images when demand loaded. This update will allow images to be saved, if Raster Design was demand loaded after a drawing with images was opened.

3.  Image transformation. For non- save able image formats, such as SID, this update now properly performs the affine coordinate transform.

4.    Plot stability. This update makes image plotting more stable. The memory leak issue, which resulted in problems such as hanging and out of memory errors, has been resolved.

5.  Publishing multispectral images. This update allows users to create a DWF containing representations of multispectral images.
