Hi All
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=13360959&linkID=9240698 Found another update to Civil 3D 2009 in sp 3 available here. It
appears to fix these items....
Besure to read the full read me file prior to install. It
seems the CUI if you did any customization maybe updated to a default status...I have done my first running with it and it worked without any problems so far. Worked it with
pipe networks for a start and it didn't crash, even with the 3d orbit and it did appear at first
glance to work without a hang/crash.

General Updates
The following defects have also been fixed:
2D Display
On Windows XP, AutoCAD 2009 may crash when Windows XP is suspended or placed in hibernation mode.
If a layer is set to the color BYBLOCK and you plot the drawing, AutoCAD crashes.
3D Navigation Tools
When you use a 3D navigation command, such as 3DORBIT or 3DPAN, to maintain performance, the display degrades. AutoCAD may crash.
When orbiting a 3D model with a 3D polyline, AutoCAD may crash.
3D Plot
When you plot a drawing, a plot style assigned to a layer does not display in the plotted output.
Annotation Scaling
When a multileader (mleader) with a missing or invalid style is edited, it disappears from the display. If you select undo or close the drawing, AutoCAD crashes.
When a drawing contains incorrect block references and the SAVEFIDELITY system variable is set to 1, if you attempt to save the drawing, AutoCAD crashes.
Switching layouts that contain viewports with hatched objects may take an unusually long time.
If you use annotation scaling to delete a layout viewport, AutoCAD may crash.
ARX-OTHER
If AutoCAD 2009 Update 2 is installed on your system, attribute text may be misaligned.
ATIL
TIFF files may display incorrectly.
Blocks
When a drawing contains a block that references itself, if you use the INSERT command, AutoCAD crashes.

If you use OpenGL with uncertified graphics drivers, AutoCAD may crash.
If your screen saver starts, the connection between AutoCAD and your graphics card may be lost, causing AutoCAD to crash.
Draw 2D
When you copy multiline text (mtext) or dimensions with breaks, a memory leak may occur.
When AutoCAD 2009 Update 2, AutoCAD 2009 Subscription Bonus Pack 2, or AutoCAD 2009 Subscription Bonus Pack 3 is installed, polylines are incorrectly closed.
When AutoCAD 2009 Update 2 is installed, polylines with different widths are incorrectly closed.
Dynamic Dimensions
If you enable Dynamic Input while grip editing an object and then save and close the drawing, AutoCAD may crash.
DWFIN
In AutoCAD, if the background of a drawing is black, the file may not display correctly. This problem applies to DWF files only.
Graphic System
On Windows Vista, if your drawing contains a large block of text and the text is being refreshed for display on the screen, AutoCAD crashes.
Hatch
When you view or plot large hatched objects, AutoCAD may run out of memory.
When you open a drawing that has a hatch pattern name greater than 35 characters, AutoCAD crashes.
Image
If AutoCAD Update 1 is installed, TIFF files display incorrectly.
Impression Toolbar
In some situations, when the AcImpression.cui file is loaded and you open a drawing, AutoCAD crashes.
Inquiry
When you use the MEASUREGEOM command, a memory leak occurs.
Install
If you install AutoCAD 2009 Update 1 on Windows Vista 64-bit, AutoCAD fails to launch.
When you attempt to install AutoCAD 2009 Update 1 on AutoCAD Civil 3D or AutoCAD Architecture, if you do not restart, the installation fails. If you attempt to reinstall the update, a message displays stating that the update is already installed even though it is not.
Layer
The VPLAYER command does not freeze selected layers in all layout viewports.
When you use the LAYMRG command, an error message displays.
When you use the Layer Properties Manager dialog box, instead of the CLASSICLAYER command, and you attempt to remove the viewport overrides for the current viewport, an error message displays and the overrides are not removed.
In the Layer Properties Manager, if you click New Group Filter and then click Set Current, an error message displays.
In drawings with many layers, if you sort layers by name, AutoCAD may freeze.
Licensing
If you install a network version of AutoCAD, AutoCAD may fail to start.
Materials
When you open a drawing with missing referenced files, if you click Cancel to ignore the missing references, AutoCAD may crash.
MDI
If you right-click in the drawing area while a drawing is closing, AutoCAD may crash.
Modify
When you use the TABLEEXPORT command and then grip edit a viewport, AutoCAD may crash.
When you offset a polyline with a distance of zero, AutoCAD crashes.
When you use the FILLET command on non-orthogonal lines, the inclination of the lines change by a small amount. This amount is small enough that it cannot be measured, but may cause problems.
Multiline Text (mtext)
When you open a drawing created in a non-English version of AutoCAD 2006 that contains multiline text, multiline text does not display correctly.
Object Snaps
Depending on the objects in a drawing and your current object snap settings, after you start the MOVE command and select objects, AutoCAD may fail to respond.

Known Issues with This Update
After you apply this update, you may experience the following ribbon customization-related problems:
An Incorrect or Missing Ribbon Tab
Known Issue: When you display a ribbon tab from a partial or Enterprise CUI file, on the ribbon, the ribbon tab displays incorrectly or is missing.
Workaround: To correctly display a ribbon tab, recreate the workspace used to display the ribbon tab from scratch. Do not duplicate or attempt to update the workspace. Once you create a new workspace, set the workspace current. The ribbon tab should display correctly.
For a partial CUI file, before you add a ribbon tab to a workspace, use the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor to change the customization group name of the file. The customization group name is represented by the uppermost node of the tree in the Customization In pane.
A Blank Image for a Command
Known Issue: On a ribbon panel, the image associated with a command defined in the Command List pane displays as a blank icon.
Workaround: To recreate a ribbon command item on a ribbon panel, delete it. Then, from the Command List pane, add the command to the ribbon panel.
