In an effort to continuously improve Autodesk products AutoCAD 2009 and AutoCAD LT 2009 we have just released the Update 1 after customer beta testing at MyFeedback (http:myfeedback.autodesk.com).
Sep 28, 2014 Installing 64bit AutoCAD 2009 on Windows 8 and Windows 10 64bit Posted on September 28, 2014 by simonbooth AutoCAD 2009 was not designed to run in Windows 10 (Windows 10 was released after AutoCAD 2009) and inevitably you will run into issues such as random crashing out, slow startup problems, text scaling issues, etc. May 14, 2009 Update (nee Service Pack) 3 for AutoCAD 2009 is now available. See Between the Lines for full details. As always, read the readme first. Here are the links: Readme AutoCAD 2009 AutoCAD LT 2009 AutoCAD 2009 for Revit Architecture AutoCAD 2009 for Revit Structure No word yet about related updates for the vertical products. While I’m not convinced by some aspects of the recently introduced.
This update is to address customer reported issues and fixes to issues reported by customers sending in the CER reports. Please be sure to send in CER reports whenever you get one and add any additional information and your email so we can follow up. And yes there is a name change from Service Pack to Service Update. ;-)

.NET API
- When a .NET function with a LispFunction attribute has the return type as object, an exception is thrown in AutoCAD.
Annotation Scaling
- A drawing that contains a large number of anonymous blocks and copies of annotative entities created in AutoCAD 2007, or an earlier release, opens slowly in AutoCAD 2009.
- A scale is infinitely enumerated when you insert a drawing that contains the same scale as a block or an external reference (xref).
Attributes
- When you attempt to display a tooltip of a multiline text (mtext) attribute that contains 281 characters or more, AutoCAD crashes.
- When you move a block using an insertion grip, mtext attributes move incorrectly.
- When the default value of an mtext attribute in a block contains a field, you cannot edit the attribute text to replace the field with other data.
Blocks
- When you insert or redefine a block that contains attributes on a locked layer, AutoCAD crashes.
- When you change the scale of a block through the Properties Palette, an attribute displays incorrectly.

- When you attempt to save a file with a long file name, AutoCAD may crash.
- When you drag and drop a file from Windows Explorer into the AutoCAD title bar while in Single Document Interface (SDI) mode, AutoCAD may crash.
- When you attempt to open multiple files from Windows Explorer, only the first selected file opens.
Partial Open
- When the OPENPARTIAL system variable is set to 1, if you use the PURGE command, drawings may become corrupted.
Plot
- When you plot upside-down, an OLE object does not plot correctly.
Property Palette
