Listed below is the summary of Civil 3D 2014 Service Pack 1 changes from the readme file:

Alignments

• Using the Create Best Fit Alignment command no longer causes the application to close unexpectedly.

Corridor Design

• The application no longer closes unexpectedly when you are working in a drawing with the Corridor Section Editor open and you then open (or create) and then close another drawing.
• Importing a subassembly when a Tool Palette is not displayed no longer causes the application to close unexpectedly. To import a subassembly to a Tool Palette, the Tool Palette must first be open. If no Tool Palette is open, the option to import the subassembly to a Tool Palette is not available for selection.
• Attaching another subassembly to a LinktoMarkpoint subassembly that exists in an offset assembly no longer causes the application to close unexpectedly.
• 3D polylines that exist in the drawing no longer appear by default in the Corridor Section Editor.
• Importing a subassembly to a Tool Palette and then re-importing the same subassembly no longer causes the application to close unexpectedly.
• When you create a subassembly from a polyline, the behavior of the Link Creation setting now works as expected.
• Corridor feature lines that are drawn at fixed offset distances now appear as expected in the drawing.

Section Views

• The positions of volume tables are now maintained when a drawing containing them is saved, closed, and reopened.

General/Other

• Stability when using a menu with a drop down list has been improved.
• Using Ctrl+Tab to switch between open drawings while the Layer Manager is open no longer causes the application to display an error message and close unexpectedly.
• Opening a drawing that was created in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 (or in an earlier version) that contains data references no longer causes the application to close unexpectedly.
• Selecting points within the Point Editor and then clicking in the Style column no longer causes the application to close unexpectedly.
• Importing profile view band styles now works as expected.
• Creating feature lines from a large number of polylines no longer causes the application to close unexpectedly.
• Grip editing a feature line after using the feature line Fillet command and then using the UNDO command no longer causes the application to close unexpectedly.
• Using the ExportToAutoCAD command on a drawing that has an attached xref no longer causes the application to close unexpectedly.
• Using the APPLOAD command to load AeccCustomDraw.dbx, AeccCustomEvent.dbx and AeccCustomUI.dbx now works as expected.
• The geographic location is now correct when the units in the drawing are different from the units in the Geographic Location dialog box.
• To use the ImportCAiCEKCM command, the Microsoft® Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable must be installed first. You can download the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255.
• Starting the application after uninstalling AutoCAD® Map 3D 2010 no longer causes the application to close unexpectedly.

Labels

• Values are now rounded correctly in profile station labels that use station index format with rounding.

Autodesk AutoCAD Map 3D Integration

• Live Map Data tiles are now loaded correctly when opening the application.
• The MAPIMPORT command now imports SHP and SDF files as expected.

Object Enabler

• Using the eTransmit command in Autodesk® AutoCAD® or Autodesk® AutoCAD LT® when the Civil Object Enabler is installed no longer causes the program to close unexpectedly.
• Drawings that contain alignments, profiles, and pressure networks that are created in the current version of the program and then saved in an earlier version of the program now open as expected in AutoCAD (or other object-enabled program) when the Civil Object Enabler is installed.

Parcels

• Running the Parcel Map Check report no longer causes the application to close unexpectedly.
• Using the Delete PI command on a parcel segment point of intersection no longer causes the application to close unexpectedly.
• Editing a parcel segment by holding the Ctrl key down and moving a grip no longer causes the application to close unexpectedly.

Pipes

• Deleting a pipe or structure when the Toolspace window is hidden no longer causes the application to close unexpectedly.
• On the Microsoft^® Windows 8^® operating system, if you display a rollover tooltip for a pipe network and then exit the application, the application no longer closes unexpectedly.
• Changing a pipe network part in the source file of a data shortcut now updates the part style in the referenced pipe network as expected.
• Inserting a custom part into a pipe network now works as expected.
• Using the Batch Import command to import pipe network parts into the Content Catalog Editor now works as expected.
• The accuracy of the Part Builder Data Structure Table has been improved.
• The structure style block rotation is now aligned with the 3D solid.

Pressure Networks

• When using the Follow Surface command, the application no longer closes unexpectedly if the reference surface for the pressure network has a gap in it.

Profiles

• Using the Profile Layout Tools toolbar no longer causes the application to close unexpectedly.

Profile Views

• Pressure network parts can now be re-drawn in profile view after drawing them in profile view and deleting them.

Point Clouds

• The Window selection option in the Add Points to Surface command now works as expected.
• Creating a point cloud or a surface from an ESRI ASC file now works as expected.

• DEM files inserted as raster images are now positioned correctly.
• Polylines created with the Water Drop command now use the PLINEGEN system variable.
• Using the Paste Surface command no longer causes the application to close unexpectedly.
