Civil 3D 2011:  How do identify what Service Pack I have installed?

Tried this:

Help -> about

The dialog shows "Product Version E.208.N.0, Version 3

And this:

Command: AECVersion

CompanyName: Autodesk, Inc.
FileDescription: AecBase DBX
FileVersion: 6, 5, 353, 0
LegalCopyright: © Autodesk, Inc. 1998-2010. All rights reserved.

Any ideas?  Cheers.

The "Version 3" is telling you Service Pack 2 is installed.

Wow, that's obvious (sarcasm)...  I figured as much, thanks.  I know they did it right in 2012, it says "SP1"

[Jeff_M]

Yeah, it's not obvious, but after seeing it in print it is logical....but why they chose to show it to us this way to cause confusion I have no idea. The logic:

Initial release is Version 1

The first Service pack is SP1, but now it's the second version of C3D2011 so Version 2 makes sense.

The second Service Pack is SP2, of course, which again increases the version to Version 3.

Figured that too.  If you follow programming logic, it would start with zero!  🙂
