Hotfix – Autodesk 3ds Max 2009 – 2009.03.16

This hotfix addresses the following issues:

• Biped
  Previously in select situations, when selecting parts of a Biped then selecting multiple keys on the time-line a memory leak would occur. Eventually this could result in other application instabilities or a program error. This problem has been fixed.

• Rendering Output and Bitmap File Chooser
  When defining output paths and filenames the first time the proper capitalization would be saved properly. On subsequent opening of this dialog the filename and path would be converted to all lower-case. This fix keeps the proper case as set by the user.

• Licensing
  A network licensing problem can occur when installing Service Pack 1 for Autodesk 3ds Max 2009 64-bit. The licensing mode will switch to stand-alone licensing and not recognize a valid license. 3ds Max Design 2009 or systems with the 32-bit version installed were not affected by this problem. This problem has been fixed.

• MAXScript
  In certain situations a flag variable is set while performing a garbage collection that prevents recursive calls to the Garbage Collector. This flag will not be cleared properly and causing a memory leak with the MAXScript Garbage Collector “gc()” command. The fix will clear the flag in the problem exit path clearing the memory from the Garbage Collector.

Note: This Hotfix includes all previous hotfixes and includes Autodesk 3ds Max 2009 SP1.
