ArchiCAD 9 Hotfix (Build 2172) can be found within the ArchiCAD 9 application menus. Go to the [Help menu >> Check for Updates...]. When appropriately installed, ArchiCAD 9 [Help >> About ArchiCAD] will show as Build 2172. You may also use the mirrored links: ArchiCAD 9 Hotfix (Build 2045) Mac {48.5 MB} / Win {31.3 MB} This version is for non-EDU users only.
Anyone tried it?

And why would the mirrored link be for 2045?

Downloaded and installed the update. Everything seems to be working fine so far.

Edit: Not fine; see later post.

I'm sorry, I am on a Mac, G5, 4meg ram, OS 10.4.3. Crashes are occurring in ArchiCAD on an existing file which I'm trying to modify (Changing window parameters and some trim objects). They seem to happen when I "save" in an elevation window, not, so far in the plan view. Still testing... RBG

Had a problem with accessing project files on the server with the new build.

Hi,

I have been to the download section on Graphisoft Support and can find no mention of a build 2172 update. The current build referred to for hotfix 3 is 2045. Am i missing something obvious here or....not?

You can get to the download by going to the help menu from within Archicad. I figured this was a security feature to ensure that only current users can get to the download.

I was (finally) able to load 2172 on a few machines this morning. I wonder if there is a difference in the files linked at the following Graphisoft sites:

http://tr.graphisoftus.com/

http://www.graphisoft.com/support/archicad/downloads/update.html?_submitted=1&version=9&lang=USA&bui...

I was never able to successfully extract the file downloaded from tr.graphisoftus.com (even trying/testing on Macs outside our office). Errors such as "end of central directory not found" were common. The file downloaded from the other site extracted flawlessly.

Something to check, I guess?

Same thing happened to me. By some strange reason I was able to connect to graphisofts.com and download it and extract. The file downloaded from tr.graphisoft.com never did unzip successfully.

Graphisoft has repaired the link at tr.graphisoftus.com for the Mac 2172 hotfix so that the file can be successfully downloaded and unzipped. While they were at it, I also asked them to repair the 2045 v. 2172 typo. Onward.
