I know that many CAD-a-Blog readers have discussed issues with the FIND command and its lack of "zoom to" features. Essentially when you used the FIND command, and did a "zoom to", then closed the find command, your screen would return to a previous state, and not on the object you zoomed to. Well, this service pack fixes that, even though it isn't stated in the README file. So, rest assured that this feature now works properly!!
To get the file, go to this Autodesk Service and Support page. The download and instructions are there. Make sure you read the README file. It will tell you what has been updated, how to install it, how to uninstall it (you never know), and more.
Here is a partial list of topics that were updated in this patch:
- 3D Visual Styles
- Annotation Scaling
- External References (xref) palette
- Raster Images
- Partial Open
- Plot
- Properties Palette
- Hatch
- Remote text (rtext)
The following defects have also been fixed:
.NET API
Annotation Scaling
Attributes
Blocks
Export a Layout to Model Space
When you export a layout to model space the following occurs:
External Reference ESW
Hatch
Hide/Shade
Menu Browser

Multiline Text (mtext)
Open/Save
Partial Open
Plot
Property Palette

I hope this helps you out with your AutoCAD 2009 experience.
