Autodesk fixes Content Explorer bugs

Have you noticed any problems while running the Autodesk Content Service in AutoCAD? It seems some users have experienced sluggishness and crashes when starting up the service in Windows. But Autodesk has now released a hotfix that should banish those bugs for good.

The Content Service is part of the new Content Explorer functionality in AutoCAD 2012. It was developed to index folders so you can quickly find files and, more importantly, objects within those files such as blocks, text and layers. To make sure it's running to its full potential, download the Autodesk 2012 Content Explorer Service Hot Fix 2 here.

The hotfix will address the following issues:

• In some cases renaming a folder in Windows Explorer, which is currently being watched by the Autodesk Content Service, can cause the service to stop running.
• The Autodesk Content Service could not be started because the size of the database file was larger than the configured maximum size. If you have encountered this issue please follow the steps found in the companion document "Configuring Maximum Database Size in Autodesk Content Service.pdf" after you have installed Hot Fix 2. If you have not encountered this issue these additional steps are not needed.
• Files fail to index when an English Autodesk Content Service is installed on a Turkish operating system.
