Late last week Autodesk released AutoCAD Civil 3D 2017 Service Pack 1 right on time.
Note that SP1 for Civil 3D 2017 shares lots of similarities with the recently released SP3 for Civil 3D 2016. Fancy that.
Remind me to check and see which version of the Traverse Editor is in there...Odds are it is. No mention in the readme contents below.
Don't freak out.
Autodesk introduced new label override glyphs that identify labels where the text or the format is forced. You can turn this on and off.
Back and Forth
Where will the Civil 3D SP appear first?
As of this writing Service Pack 1 for AutoCAD Civil 3D 2017 was not available in the Autodesk Desktop App.
I bet that gots fixed by the time you read this.
This time around the Civil 3D Service Pack first appeared on the AutoCAD download pages for the AutoCAD Civil 3D.
Included below is the alphabetical list of issues fixed from the AKN readme.
