ArchiCAD have removed Hotfix #3 due to several critical issues
We understand a lot of people were awaiting this hotfix and were quick to download and install it
At this stage the only way to rollback to Hotfix #2 is to reinstall ArchiCAD & run Hotfix
We realize this may be impractical for a lot of firms so we can only recommend that you do NOT use Guidelines if you are on Hotfix #3
The shortkey for this is ‘Q’ so just ensure they are turned off & it will behave better
Graphisoft have worked on several speed & stability issues and believe they are close to a solution
So we should soon see an updated hotfix which will improve everyones experience of ArchiCAD 16
We will announce this in the blog as usua

What would improve everyones’ experience of ArchiCAD would be confidence that Graphisoft thoroughly test their hotfixes prior to release. Does this mean they did not notice something wrong with the guidelines function? While I don’t use them often I would have thought that they are a common and simple function to test.

Karl,
As with any software there is always the chance that despite the best intentions, and as thorough testing as can be achieved in house, things can be missed. The Development team in Hungary are working on this as a matter of utmost urgency. We apologise for any inconvenience that it may cause, and are hopeful that a fix will be available imminently

Hi Tate,
Is there an expected release date for the new hotfix? There is a remarkable lack of news on the GS website.
4th March 2013
Two weeks and still no word or, at least, an expected release date. The term “slack” comes to mind – surely GS can provide some information rather than leaving the proverbial update “black hole” when it comes to this. This is the kind of behaviour that other software companies get slammed for, so why aren’t they making more of an effort?

So GS have released the new new hotfix – can you please confirm whether there will be a cadimage tools update to match and, if so, when you expect this to be available.
Thanks,
Karl

Hi Karl
Software companies in general do not provide feedback on releases as a release is never straight forward, bugs or negative feedback push back releases until they are confident, this was especially the case with this one. I have informed any customer who has asked about possible release dates & helped solve issues causes by 3482

The Cadimage tools are not updated for each hotfix, they are unaffected by these hotfixes. The release reports shows exactly what areas they address, we worked closely with Graphisoft to ensure there was no adverse affect on the tools for this latest release.
Regards
Jonny
