ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 for Desktop support for AutoCAD version 2013 Patch

This patch adds support for AutoCAD version 2013, as well as fixing several geometry issues for reading DGN and DWG CAD data in ArcGIS Desktop.

Esri® announces the ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 for Desktop support for AutoCAD version 2013 Patch. This patch will allow ArcGIS 10.1 Service Pack 1 customers to directly read AutoCAD version 2013 format. This addition will provide the ability to read Autodesk 2013 formats as a direct read, but not to write to this format. There are also improved support for Bentley’s Microstation V8 format, which is directly read in ArcGIS. The change has allowed support of additional geometry types like Shared Cells. It deals specifically with the issues listed below under Issues Addressed with this Patch.

Description: This patch will allow ArcGIS 10.1 Service Pack 1 for Desktop to read AutoCAD version 2013 format along with better support the Microstation file format as a direct read data source.
