Service Pack 1 for IronCAD DCS 2022 PU1 (2022.01.01.0) has now been released. Please read this entire post for a proper installation.
The difference between PU (Product Update) and SP (Service Pack) is that PU contains both new features and quality enhancements compared to SP which contains only quality enhancements.
Download Service Pack 1 for IronCAD DCS 2022 PU1 here
See what's fixed in Service Pack 1
How do I know which version I have?
Go to Menu, Help, About and check that you see the text "Version 24.0 Product Update 1".
As mentioned above, Product Update 1 is required to install this Service Pack. By checking under Help, About, you can see if Product Update 1 is installed or not. If you do not have Product Update 1, you can download it here first.
It is important that you uncheck the installation of IC Mechanical when adding SP1. If this is not done, the US distribution will overwrite the Swedish distribution of IC Mechanical and your open catalogs may be closed. If this has already happened on your computer, scroll down the post to see how you can resolve this.
Deselect IC Mechanical as shown before installation, then press Install to start the installation.
If you have accidentally installed the US edition of IC Mechanical , you first need to download the Swedish edition. Do so from this link:
https://www.solidmakarna.se/nedladdningscenter?program=IC+Mechanical&version=2022
Then go to Windows Control Panel>Uninstall a program
Then scroll down the list and select IronCAD Mechanical .
Then press Uninstall and follow the uninstall wizard that appears
Then start the installation of the English edition of IC Mechanical that you have just downloaded. Please read these instructions for the correct installation of IC Mechanical:

If your previous catalogs have "disappeared", you will need to open them manually.
You do this via Catalogs>Open and then select the catalogs you want to open followed by Open.
To easily manage which catalogs should be open, to easily switch between different default "catalog sets" and to quickly fix if catalogs are undesirably shut down in the future, you can use PROCatalogSet. There you can build your own library of catalogs. Please read this post for more information:
