CREATEHLR is crashing AutoCAD Architecture

[Impact]

Whenever I select more than one or two simple objects in AutoCAD Architecture 2013 and try the CREATEHLR command, CAD crashes.

This is true from the Model tab, other tabs I've set up, and regardless of view.

I've audited the drawing.

I've done an installation repair.

I've been sure to use the ACA profile.

The error message is:

Fatal Error:  Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x000 Exception at e3d57cb6h

There is a known issue with the Section and Elevation tool in ACA 2013 that has been corrected by the hotfix below. This issue has also affected the CREATEHLR copmmand.

Install the hotfix and report back.

Thanks, Lance!

That did the trick.  I tested it several times with no errors, crashes or problems.

Kudos!
