have been reading messages from some disgruntled R6 users (most notably, the
"Silence" thread) about Autodesk not owning up to issues with R6. Read below
the email I received today from Robert "Buzz" Kross from Autodesk.
All,
I have heard a number of issues from your customers concerning
Inventor 6 quality. Most of these issues have focused on drawing manager. My
team has met with a key members of our technical sales team and with customers
to define the scope of the problem. In response to this we are producing an
Inventor 6 service pack. The service pack will be available for download on
November 15. Code development work for the service pack is largely completed
and it is currently under final test and being qualified for release. Over 600
customer issues spanning the entire product have been resolved. I will forward
a separate detail list of fixes to MCAD TECH FAM later this week. Following is
a high level summary:
Parts
Around 90 issues have been
resolved that deal specifically with parts, most of the issues are priority 2
and 3. Memory leaks which lead to capacity issues have been fixed. Issues with
features failing to update which are dependent on loft, thicken and delete
face operations have been fixed. Some key Autodesk Shape Manager fixes have
also been incorporated including fixes for specific fillet and loft crashes. A
bug that limited emboss functionality has been removed.
Assemblies
In assemblies we have resolved around 80 issues, most having to do
with constraints. This includes several issues with transitional constraints
and adaptive assemblies. Limitations with constraining adaptive assemblies to
non-adaptive assemblies have been fixed. Certain iMate fixes have been
introduced. In addition, a large set of special weldment cases has been
resolved. Specifically, weld symbols jumping, failing fillet welds, issues
with creating welds have been fixed.
Drawings
Over 200
fixes for the service pack have been in drawings. Issues related to specific
migration problems, holes and hole tables, and performance and capacity for
view creation of very large assemblies have been fixed. Over 30 crashes have
been fixed. Some specific issues that have been resolved include:
- Crash getting all dimensions from a derived part with a
pattern.
- Crash after save when copy/paste a sheet with
projected view.
- Crash when cursor crosses the section
arrow during section view creation.
- Crash annotating to
some legacy section views.
- Annotations do not stay
attached to view geometry on assembly update.
- Weld
annotations not recovered in a specific drawing view.
-
Assembly demote causes part list numbering to jump.
-
Drawing cannot be opened after deleting a component from .ipns assembly.
- Breakout view causes crosshatch to be wrong.
Other
A relatively small number of issues have been fixed
in Data Exchange, Content Library, API, Sheet Metal and Surfacing.

That sounds great......but......I certainly hope
general stability, spreadsheet linking, parts list editing etc. is part of the
200+80+60 fixes that Buzz mentions. I'm also rather surprised he didn't
mention graphic related bugs as a major point. That seems to be a common
problem among all (well most) R6 users.
Nov.15th...cool!

first thought was...how could they put a release date on a patch? shouldn't it
be released when the major bugs are fixed, instead of saying, "whatever is
fixed by nov 15th is when this SP will be released." ???
