Civil3D 2015 issues

[Anonymous]

We recently went to 2015 from 2016 because there was such a performance lag in sheets/xrefs with 2016.  It was really slowing down production in our office so we loaded 2015 after we had skipped from 2013 to 2016.

However, we seem to be having 'random' issues with 2015.  One big one is the shuffling of the layout tabs in a sheet file.  The software seems to reorder the tabs at random.  One day I can grip edit pipes in a pressure network and the next day not.  One day the subassembly creation tool to create both sides of the assembly works and the next day it will only create on the side that is picked first. 

Another tech is having issues with multileader text - it will not create the arrow first - only after the text is typed will the leader show up.

I have had sheet set manager say that sheets (that are listed) are not part of the set.  I have to remove the sheet(s) and import the layout(S) again.  Sometimes the rename and renumber works in sheet set manager and sometimes it does not.  The set listing will look correct but the actual sheet title has not been changed.

AutoCAD seems to lock up more than normal.  And then there is the mysterious issue of elevations and labels not showing up in profiles in sheets created with plan production.  Even a regen will not make the labels show up.  Sometimes they show up in plot preview but will not print.  This process has to be repeated until finally it works.

Anyone else out there having these issues or know of ways to fix them?  Thanks!

The service packs need to be installed.

I believe the hotfix is included in one of the service packs. I am not at my desk right now to double check.

There is more than one Service Pack for C3D 2016?

This is for 2015.

It unfortunatelywas not included in SP2, but requires SP2 to replace the AcWindows.dll.

Was it covered in SP3?

Thanks to all replies...yes, when we rolled back to 2015, we installed all the SPs and hotfix items that were issued for 2015 - see atchment for list.  I think the layout tab shuffle was included in a 2016 SP but we took C3D 2016 and related SPs off all the computers when we went back to 2015.  

So...any ideas?  Thanks!!!

It was not included in SP3 and also not shown in Autodesk Application Manager. Which sucks because now you have to know about it specifically and go find it.

Yeah, I was just reading that.  Finally got to the office
