      Inventor 2015 Service Pack 2

      Autodesk has just released Service Pack 2 for Inventor 2015.

      This Service Pack 2 addresses multiple issues for Inventor 2015.

      Here is what is addressed in Service Pack 2:

      Stress Analysis
      • The precision of pressure is inaccurate when you convert it from MPa to psi.
      • Inventor unexpectedly exits while working in the Stress Analysis addin. This occurs when finishing a simulation and reading back simulation results.
      Security
      • Service Pack 2 addresses POODLE SSL v3 vulnerability
      API
      • API GraphicsIndexSet.Add method has performance regression since Inventor 2015.
      Application Functionality
      • Inventor hangs when saving a file after you expand and collapse the browser.
      • Unable to export files to CAD format in particular machines.
      • The browser does not automatically reposition when one monitor is missing.
      • Inventor performance is poor if you run Inventor on dual monitors or under customer DPI setting.
      • Non-English Inventor unexpectedly exits when you type the letter 'a' in Communication Center.
      • The last opened file might not be listed in the Recently Used tab after resetting the ribbon.
      • A project cannot be changed using the dropdown menu in My Home when an opened document is closed using undo.
      • Non-localized strings display within the context menu of the Home page.
      • Inventor 2015 freezes on startup: The message "AutoCAD Component has Stopped Working" displays.
      • View manipulation does not work as expected with 3D device if Rotation is disabled.
      • Manually changing the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\RegistryVersion19.0\System\Preferences\File\CefOptions setting in the registry is no longer required.
      Assembly Modeling
      • Inventor unexpectedly exits when you copy components into certain assembly files.
      • Sheet metal solid body is not selectable under Select Body Priority in the Assembly environment.
      • Some defined Assembly Joint Limits are unexpectedly lost when computing large amounts of existing Joints.
      • Assembly constraints that specifically Insert type constraint, sometimes provides a wrong direction when based on a normal vector of a selected circular edge. This issue was caused by using incorrect precision to compare direction of the two vectors in order to decide a final constraint direction. Editing existing Insert constraints may switch the constraint direction to the opposite direction.
      • Locked Design Views that are activated while occurrences are suppressed will no longer turn unsuppressed instances to invisible later.
      • When a part is inserted in an assembly, the center of gravity is made visible and cannot be turned off.
      • Assembly Joints that are created using the Substitute LOD of the components will fail sometimes when activating the Master or Substitute LOD.
      • A locked view representation when changing a component to invisible does not immediately update the browser icon to gray.
      Content Center
      • Some materials are empty in custom Content Center family after migration from R2012.
      Drawing Manager
      • Drawing views are out of sync with Assembly data.
      • Model sketches do not update in the drawing view if the model has no volume.
      • The size of a bounding box of a raster view is incorrect.
      • Inventor unexpectedly exits when creating a detail view.
      • Welds are incorrectly represented in the drawing when you change a Model State from Welds to Machining.
      • Cannot delete the crop view when annotations are unattached.
      • A memory leak problem happens when updating a drawing view.
      • You cannot copy/paste some drawing views.
      • Poor performance occurs when creating drawing views.
      • Inventor unexpectedly exits when creating drawing views from a weldment assembly.
      • Inventor unexpectedly exits when you create a crop view and undo it.
      • The PartsListColumn.Reposition method does not work for iAssembly member columns.
      • Inventor unexpectedly exits when deleting symbols before the Select Other mini toolbar appears, or while the toolbar is active.
      • The order in BOM is not correct when sorting components by Item.
      • Data row height cannot be adjusted by dragging the data cell line up and down in the Partslist table, general table and revision table.
      Engineer's Notebook
      • Inventor unexpectedly exits after undoing an Engineering note several times until the part that includes the engineering notebook is closed with two components.
      Enhanced Visualization
      • Inventor prompts error message when creating a drawing view because of a bad front plane definition.
      • The preview quality is not good when creating a drawing base view from a small part.
      • Abnormal triangles may appear in a drawing document when you zoom in to drawing sheet.

      • Physical iProperties are not calculated for large models that contain a rectangular pattern feature.
      • Inventor sometimes unexpectedly exits when you select the Rebuild All button.
      Presentations
      • Some nodes are missing in the IPN browser when opening legacy .ipn files.
      Reality Capture
      • The point clouds of regions created in ReCap does not display in the Inventor point cloud Navigator dialog box.
      Sketch
      • Inventor unexpectedly exits when clicking on a point to place copied sketch texts.
      Translators
      • A component is either missing or is altered after exporting to a STEP file.
