It has been bought to our attention that some people are experiencing Autodesk Sync issues when installing a 2013 release product after installing a 2013 beta product. The Autodesk Sync component does not upgrade properly under the following conditions:

• You installed AutoCAD Beta 2013 (or Showcase Beta 2013) and subsequently install Inventor 2013

• You installed Inventor Beta 2013 and subsequently install AutoCAD 2013 (or Showcase 2013).

Please visit the Autodesk website for the solutions.

We are pleased to announce we have downloaded the latest product release from Autodesk – Autodesk Product Design Suite Premium 2013, which includes AutoCAD and Inventor. We are looking forward to trying out all of the exciting new features!

More information on what the software can do is available on the Autodesk website.

A warm welcome to 2012 from the team at Nova Design, let’s hope this year is a good one!

Judging by various discussion boards, we have noticed several people are getting ‘Error 1603′ when attempting to install AutoCAD 2012. The error states that the user must ‘install DirectX’ before the installation can commence. To solve this, you need to install DirectX End-User Runtimes (March 2009) from the Microsoft website, and then run the installation again.

Good luck, and enjoy AutoCAD 2012!

Problems are being experienced with Windows 7 Service pack being installed automatically with Windows updates. These problems are not related to the service pack itself but with the way it is installing. The problem is being caused when it installs alongside other updates.

The solution is to either install the service pack manually by downloading it from the Microsoft website and installing it on its own. If you would prefer not to have the service pack installed yet, make sure you switch off Windows updates.

The service pack can be downloaded here.
