Unfortunately SP1 is temporarily unavailable for download at this time.  We seem to be running ok at this time but will install as soon as available.

Thanks!

I still have the installers for both 64bit and 32bit versions...

I've seen no perceptable increase speed or decrease in stability with SP1.

IMO the beta service pack was more stable then the released one.

All,

A few comment to share:

• The best way to really know what you have installed for any application, not just Inventor, is to look at Control panel, Add/Remove or Uninstall Programs & hit "View Installed updates"; this will show you all hotfixes, updates, SP's etc. (See attached) Many products only update their Help About major version when considerable changes are made, Eg with a major SP. Inventor 2013 will show build 138 if you have the release version, update1 or update2 installed. It will show build 170 SP1 if you installed the SP version. The "to be released" version will show SP1.1 with the final build number, (hopefully 176).

• In so many cases with Inventor, because it is used in such diverse ways, everyone will likely have very different experiences with functionality, stability, performance, etc, etc as this thread shows. The memory management problem, that really caused SP1 to be taken down, considerably impacted many users, but not all, so some of you feel that build 170 is more stable than others do. We decided to err on the side of caution & fix the issue for everyone.

• The general recommendation is to revert to update2, but if you're happy with build 170 or build 154 (which was beta tested), then you can obviously keep using those versions. If you are doing lots of material/appearance library edits, then please don't use build 170 - See http://beinginventive.typepad.com/being-inventive/2012/10/material-asset-missing.html

• There will only be minimal code changes between build 170 & the "to be released" version so any performance improvements that were witnessed should still be there.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,
Chris

Bearing in mind that we use this software to make a living is it too low brow to suggest autodesk pull their finger out and  take this software seriously...

spend some time on getting the basic stuff working properly and forget the shiny stuff until you get it right.  I would have thought AD would have learnt from their past oversights by now.

perhaps that is a bit harsh. I will apologise

tomorrow.

Hi,

We are currently on track for releasing an updated Inventor 2013 SP1 in mid October.  The expectation is that this will be made available some time next week.  I want to apologize for any inconvenience that this delay has caused.  Please know that we are working diligently to resolve the issues that were found in Inventor 2013 and doing everything possible to get these fixes made available as soon as possible.

Regards,

Chuck
