A Hotfix for Revit 2013 has just been posted. It addresses issues in two main areas:
Part Family:
- Prevents data loss during upgrade of families containing specific material parameters.
- Improves stability and memory usage within graphics display.
- Improves vector print output of transparent elements and masking regions.
- Prevents accidental data loss during cancellation of the in-place family editor.
Revit Server:
- Revit would occasionally report that an operation could not be
completed when attempting a worksharing operation after a period of
inactivity, if Riverbed devices were used in conjunction with Revit
Server. A subsequent retry of the operation would then succeed. When
this hotfix is applied to Revit, this behavior is eliminated. No changes
to Revit Server are required.
Make sure that Update Release 2 has been applied prior to adding the
Hotfix. Verify that the build number of Revit 2013 is 20121003_2115.
The Hotfix is available here:

Installation Instructions
NOTE: You must have administrative privileges on your Microsoft®
Windows® operating system to complete the installation process.
NOTE: You must have Autodesk Revit 2013 Update 2 installed on
the system in order to apply this hotfix.
Preparing for Installation
- Download and unzip the appropriate version(s) of the
hotfix.
To Install the Hotfix on Revit
For each
instance of Revit:
- Shut down Revit.
- Locate the Program folder beneath the program root of
your Revit installation. Ex.
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2013\Program\
- Locate the files at the root of the hotfix
location.
For each file in the hotfix, locate the corresponding file
in the [Revit install root]\Program\ folder of your Revit installation. (This folder can be found beneath the Program
folder of your Revit program root.).
Append the extension ".orig" to each
file and copy the new version from the hotfix folder. In doing so, you will have renamed the old
version of the file and replaced it with a new copy from the hotfix.
At this point, you will have renamed 7 files beneath the
Program folder of your Revit install:
[Revit install
root]\Program\RS.Common.ClientServer.Proxy.dll
[Revit install
root]\Program\DataStorageClient.dll
[Revit install
root]\Program\DesktopMFC.dll
[Revit install
root]\Program\FamilyDB.dll
[Revit install
root]\Program\GeomUtil.dll
[Revit install
root]\Program\Graphics.dll
[Revit install
root]\Program\GrphOGS3.dll
- Locate the RevitServerToolCommand
folder within the hotfix location.
For each file in this folder, locate the corresponding file
in the [Revit install root]\Program\RevitServerToolCommand
folder of your Revit installation.
Append the extension ".orig" to that
file and copy the new version from the hotfix folder. In doing so, you will have renamed the old
version of the file and replaced it with a new copy from the hotfix.
At this point, you will have renamed 2 files beneath the
Program folder of your Revit install:
[Revit install
root]\Program\RevitServerToolCommand\RS.Common.ClientServer.Proxy.dll
[Revit install
root]\Program\RevitServerToolCommand\CommandServiceClient.dll
