Here is the Inventor:

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/downloads/caas/downloads/content/inventor-2018-updates-for-customers-subscription.html

AutoCAD

We want to make sure you have 2018.1.1. and 2018.1 .2 (released 3-19-2018) and 5.1.5 installed.
.
They can be found in your account manager:

(Actually, your Inventor updates will be here too)

Here is a link for the hotfix:

Thank you Michael

I have seen and will try to download the Inventor service pack tomorrow.

My lunchtime is finished today, I do my company forum stuff at lunchtime

and my personal forum stuff at home

Unfortunately my personal service pack issue at home remains unsolved by both Autodesk and my reseller, 3 days and counting now.

You only need to do 2018.2 and 2018.2.3

That will get you caught up for Inventor

For AutoCAD, you need 2018.1.1 and 2018.1.2

Here if you need any additional help...

Mike

Can you send me a direct link to a PDF or document that simply says

what Autocad and Inventor service packs are available for 2018 and what

they consist of, (ie what are the features)

There is an awful lot of info around, in an awful lot of places, but I want something straight to

the point telling me the above.

I would like to be in full possession of all the info, before I do anything further

Mike

I missed one link:

http://help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2018/ENU/?guid=GUID-C942333F-D70D-4028-BB7D-3C0A8DA6AC86

for what's new in 2018.3

But as you're seeing it's not fully released yet, but expect it soon....

MikeKovacik4928 — Fri, 13 Apr 2018 10:17:34 GMT

Ignore that last question on 2018.3, I see from previous post, it is not yet available.

Re: Installing Service Pack for Inventor 2018

mdavis22569 — Sat, 14 Apr 2018 11:19:36 GMT

You should only need to install 2018.2 and 2018.2.3

Are you on Subscription / Maint?

Re: Installing Service Pack for Inventor 2018

MikeKovacik4928 — Sat, 14 Apr 2018 11:52:27 GMT

Thanks Michael

I will install those 2 on Monday Lunchtime.

I don't know whether we are on subscription or maintenance,

I am not in charge, the drawing office manager will know.

He doesn't normally worry about service packs, consequently nor do the other draftsmen.

I am the only one who does it, and I do it outside working hours, ie lunchtime

not a problem keep us posted ...

2018.2 has all of the prior ... and 2018.2.3 fixes a couple of bugs in 2018.2 ...

You'll be all up to date once you have them installed.

Note: 2018.3 should be coming out next week or soon from what Chris M was posting.

MikeKovacik4928 — Mon, 16 Apr 2018 15:52:25 GMT

Thanks Michael

All done and installed. Thanks for your help.

Autodesk have kindly allowed me 3 months extension on my private

Autodesk Product Design Suite Ultimate 2018 License, so I can install

my service packs there too.

Now that I have done it at work, I know exactly how to do it at home!
