Where are the Service Packs ... revisited

Just a little update to the last post ... I've been sitting with David Blanchette from Autodesk and we've been having a pretty good time talking about all things technical. I brought up the point that the update for Civil 3D wasn't called a Service Pack. Well, it seems like The 'Desk is getting away from the term "Service Pack" as it had a not so positive feel.

Now all patches and fixes will be called "Updates".

Another thing of interest is that while there is already "Update 1" for Civil 3D the users of the newly released AutoCAD Civil will not have an Update for a little while. That seems a little odd, but it was stated that not many licenses have been purcased yet so the need to patch it wasn't the same priority level as getting CIvil 3D 2009 updated.

Until next time keep the Earthworkers busy!
