I'm still having a problem with this. After backing out 1709 I did not see the KB4043961 update listed. Is there anything else that needs to be done?

Hi David, Autodesk has an update for Inventor 2017(2017.4.3) that fixes the problem. For Inventor 2018 wait for an upcoming hotfix in your Desktop App or Autodesk Accounts.
