Here's a quick little snip from the readme file...and of course all of the AutoCAD 2009 SP 1 updates apply as well.

 

General Updates to AutoCAD Architecture

The following defects have been fixed in AutoCAD Architecture 2009 Update 1:

AModeler

  • The application might crash when cutting or refreshing sections or elevations containing certain structural members.

Drawing Management

  • For localized versions of AutoCAD Architecture, callouts and labels would occasionally fail to resolve when dropping views onto sheets.
  • The application might crash when viewing the external references of a project drawing that was resaved as a different project drawing type.
  • It was not possible to drag a project entity from one file to another when hardware acceleration was enabled, if the host drawing did not use the 2d wireframe visual style.
  • The application might crash when plotting immediately after canceling a previous plot job.

IFC

  • Fillet radii would not be imported reliably for certain parametric profiles.
  • Parametric profiles without voids would not be imported reliably.
  • Spaces with clipping and holes would not import reliably.
  • Wall styles would not be reliably converted and mapped on import.
  • Curtain walls might not be import properly on localized versions of AutoCAD Architecture.

GBXML

  • gbXML would export a value 1000 times too large for AirChangesPerHour in metric drawings.

OMF

  • The application would occasionally crash on shutdown.

Wall Objects

  • The face of a wall might not draw correctly in isometric view for certain endcap configurations.

Display System

  • Autodesk Civil 3D users could end up with a style referencing a non-existent hatch.

Miscellaneous

  • Memory would not be released to Windows when closing a drawing.
