Note: If you created a plot style file in an AutoCAD 2007 product with non-ASCII characters in the style name or description, then you will have to rename those characters and resave the plot style file.
Security
- Drawing properties are now encrypted during password protection of drawings when you select that option. If you are exchanging drawings with customers using the 'Encrypt drawing properties' feature, they must also install this service pack 1.
Solid Modeling
- Improvements made to allow editing of very large solid models.
Startup, Save, Open and Close
- Corrupted or zero-byte drawings no longer created when insufficient disk space conditions are detected.
These are problems that have been identified in the original release of Architectural Desktop 2007 that are not corrected with this Service Pack.
Project Management
Saving a drawing as a view in Project Navigator may create a crash condition if the view references constructs and a drawing tool is active. To avoid this issue, make sure that no tool is active before creating a view from the current drawing.
Content Browser
After the installation of Microsoft's cumulative security update for Internet Explorer (KB918899), Content Browser may crash after accessing flyouts within the left pane. This issue can be resolved by installing a subsequent cumulative security update for Internet Explorer.
Spaces
In Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2007 Service Pack 1, support for negative boundary offset values was added within space styles. If a drawing containing space styles with negative boundary offset values is opened in Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2007 without Service Pack 1 and a space style with a negative boundary offset value is selected, an error message stating that negative values are not supported is displayed. Press OK to dismiss the dialog.
Schedule Tables
Images included in schedule tables through use of graphic property definitions will not be incorporated in eTransmit results if the file format uses the "with Exploded AEC Objects" option. To work around this issue, use the Export to AutoCAD command to generate a drawing in which all AEC objects are exploded and eTransmit this drawing instead of the original.
Interference through external references
In order to see correct interference results when using external reference interference, it may be necessary to close and re-open a drawing if external references have been unloaded.
Creating a patched deployment with “GPO Deployment” checked.
We have noted sporadic failures with creating patched GPO deployments. The machine configuration that causes this defect remains undetermined. If this occurs please try creating the deployment from a different machine or apply the patch to client workstations individually.
It is recommended that you back up all custom CUI, MNU, MNS, MNR, MNL, and MNC files before installing this Service Pack.
During the installation of this Service Pack, you may be prompted for the original installation CD, DVD, or network image. Please be sure to have the original installation media on hand when you run the patch.
This Service Pack must be installed by a user with Administrative Privileges. The installation process will stop with an error message if it was attempted by a user without Administrative Privileges.
Once this Service Pack is applied, you cannot run an automatic uninstall to remove the Service Pack. To undo the Service Pack changes, uninstall and reinstall Architectural Desktop 2007.
A Group Policy Object cannot be created to roll out this Service Pack to clients that have already installed Architectural Desktop. This Service Pack must be applied directly to every machine by an administrator of the machine.
- Download the Service Pack and save it to any folder.
- Insert the Architectural Desktop 2007 CD 1 or DVD into your CD/DVD drive.
- Navigate to the folder where you saved the Service Pack.
- Double-click the executable (EXE) file to install the Service Pack.
You can use Communication Center to apply this service pack through your local network. Detailed instructions on how to set up patching through your local network are listed in the Communication Center tab of the CAD Manager Control Utility help.
Note: The CAD Manager Control Utility can be installed from the product installation media by selecting Network Deployment and then selecting the Autodesk CAD Manager Tools 4.0 link in the Media Browser.
The following two methods of distributing Architectural Desktop 2007 Service Pack 1 apply only to administrative images created with the Architectural Desktop 2007 Network Installation Wizard. After you complete these procedures, any new deployments of Architectural Desktop 2007 will have the Service Pack applied to them automatically.
NOTE: Clients that have installed the original deployment MUST install the Service Pack before the deployment can be patched. It is not possible to patch clients after an administrative image has been patched. If you are unable to update all previously installed clients prior to adding this Service Pack to the administrative image, we recommend that a separate administrative image be created with this Service Pack applied.
NOTE: In both of the following procedures, the patch (Service Pack) file that you download contains an MSP (Microsoft Patch) file, which you extract from the executable file using the /e (extract) switch; see step 2 for the syntax.
To add Architectural Desktop 2007 Service Pack 1 to a new Architectural Desktop 2007 administrative image
- From the Autodesk Product Support website, download adt2007swlsp1enu.exe to your local computer.
- On the Start menu (Windows), click Run. Enter the following information, and then click OK:
<local
drive:>\<patch name>\ /e <local drive:>\<patch
name>.msp
- On the computer where you installed the Network Installation Wizard, on the Start menu (Windows), click Autodesk > Network Installation Wizard.
- In the Network Installation Wizard, on the Welcome page, select Create an Administrative Image, and then click Next.
- On the Create Administrative Image page, in the Select Autodesk Installer (MSI) File box, enter the path to ADT.msi, the MSI file that you use as the basis for your administrative image. This file is found on your product CD or DVD-ROM, in CD or DVDROM:\Install\ADT.msi.
- In the Administrative Image Location box, enter an existing shared network location where you want to create an administrative image, or click Browse to navigate to a location. Users install Architectural Desktop from this location.
- Select the Apply a Patch (Service Pack) to This Image option.
- In the Select Patch box, enter the path to the patch location (the location you entered in step 2, including the file extension .msp). You can also browse to locate the MSP file.
- Click Next, and follow the instructions in the Network Installation Wizard to complete the deployment of this Service Pack.
To apply Architectural Desktop 2007 Service Pack 1 to an existing Architectural Desktop 2007 administrative image
- From the Autodesk Product Support website, download adt2007swlsp1enu.exe to your local computer.
- On the Start menu (Windows), click Run. Enter the following information, and then click OK.
<local drive:>\<patch
name>\ /e <local drive:>\<patch name>.msp
- On the computer where you installed the Network Installation Wizard, on the Start menu (Windows), click Autodesk > Network Installation Wizard.
- In the Network Installation Wizard, on the Welcome page, select Modify an Administrative Image, and click Next.
- On the Modify Administrative Image page, in the Select an MSI File box, select an existing Autodesk installer file (MSI) from an existing shared network location that contains the administrative image you want to modify. Users install Architectural Desktop from this location.
- Select the Apply a Patch (Service Pack) to This Image option.
- In the Select Patch box, enter the path to the patch location (the location you entered in step 2, including the file extension .msp). You can also browse to locate the MSP file.
- Click Next, and follow the instructions in the Network Installation Wizard to complete the deployment of this Service Pack.
None of your customized files should be affected by this patch. However, if you are using a file that has a date earlier than the date of the file originally installed by Architectural Desktop 2007, it will be replaced. For example, if you have simply copied acad.pgp from an Architectural Desktop 2006 installation, it will have a modified date that is before the release of Architectural Desktop 2007 and will be replaced. To avoid this issue, simply re-save the customized file, which will give it a later date, thus preventing its replacement.
NOTE: Any files which have been removed (or moved) after the original installation will be restored by this patch.
