Having tried out the cleanup fixes from both Autodesk and Owen Wengerd, they both appear to work fine. Here are some points of comparison: Owen’s utility will work with any AutoCAD variant from 2007 on; Autodesk’s fix is currently restricted to Civil 3D 2009, 2010 and 2011. As this problem is definitely not confined [...]  26 July 2010, 10:59 am |  2 comments | Tags: AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Civil 3D 2011, Language Pack | Category: AutoCAD, Autodesk, Bug, Civil 3D, Other Autodesk Products, Other Blogs, Review, Tip The Civil 3D group within Autodesk has moved impressively quickly in providing a partial solution to the language pack problem I described earlier. What has been provided so far is a set of patches for Civil 3D 2009, 2010 and 2011 that allow Civil 3D users to remove the spurious language pack flag by [...] 22 July 2010, 9:59 am |  One comment | Tags: Civil 3D, Civil 3D 2011, Hotfix, Language Pack, Virus | Category: Announcement, AutoCAD, Autodesk, Bug, Customer Service, Other Autodesk Products, Win If you install Civil 3D 2011 using the ANZ (Australia/New Zealand) profile, when you start it up for the first time, you will see a large warning indicating that the drawing requires an Asian language pack to be installed. It also warns that this is a symptom of the acad.vlx virus: Now I [...] 19 July 2010, 4:06 pm | 6 comments | Tags: Civil 3D, Civil 3D 2011, Language Pack, Virus | Category: Bug, Customer Service, Customisation, Development, Fail, Interoperability, Other Autodesk Products It was good to see Autodesk react to criticism of AutoCAD 2011′s browser-based Help with an acknowledgement of the problems and an attempt to provide a workaround by making a zip file of CHM files available for download. That’s much better than ignoring people’s concerns, denying the validity of those concerns or shooting the messenger, [...] 7 May 2010, 1:18 pm | 6 comments | Tags: AutoCAD, AutoCAD 2011, CHM, Civil 3D, Download, Express Tools, Help, Subscription, Tip | Category: AutoCAD, AutoCAD 2011, Bug, Cloud, Customer Service, Customisation, Development, Other Autodesk Products, Subscription, Tip, Web Stuff Last week, in my capacity as a de facto CAD manager for a large public utility company, I was having a chat with an Autodesk Australia person (he’s a nice guy and very honest, by the way). The topic of conversation moved to the new AutoCAD-based vertical, Plant 3D 2010. At that stage, I [...] 30 September 2009, 3:36 pm | 5 comments | Tags: Autodesk, Civil 3D, FMDesktop, Plant 3D, Trust | Category: Autodesk, Customisation, Interoperability, Nostalgia, Other Autodesk Products, Thoughts Thanks to Brian and Rick for pointing out the availability of a hotfix for Raster Design 2010′s standalone/network license incompatibility. As a bonus, it also fixes some Raster Design / Civil 3D stability issues. The hotfix is available here, and as always with patches, fixes, service packs and updates, read the readme first.
