#R4c1 in Germany?

Hi, having read the feature list of R4c1 and gotten watery eyes about all the nice thingies that have happened to the Fast Preview, I'm more than eager to get my hands on this release. But my eagerness gets big slabs of concrete thrown in its way (metaphorically speaking, that is) as no one in Germany seems to have heard about 4c1. Even the official Autodesk Support BBS offers merely a patch for importing DXFs from ACAD 13, but no mention of Fast Preview… My Authorized Autodesk Dealer just shrugged and told me to try the Support BBS. Well, that leaves me kinda standing in the rain having not only no patch modeler but also no fully operational Fast Preview. Is there a way to download an (imagined) FP patch from CIS? Or are there any other Germans who have solved this problem one way or the other? Any help/suggestions/clues would be appreciated. TIA Volker

<<Is there a way to download an (imagined) FP patch from CIS?

If your dealer can not help you get the update, you might try asking the local Autodesk office for help.
