Group Holes work differently in V8i and Connect. In V8i I can group separate shapes together as a group hole in order to extract a total combined area. In Connect, I can only group hole shapes which intersect each other!
Regardless, Group hole areas as above created in V8i, do not report consistent areas.
First image is V8i, showing, grouped holes with area field function attached to notes.
2nd image shows the same drawing opened in Connect. All areas now report the same and Wrongly. If I attempt to create a field to display the area in Connect, the value is just plain wrong also.

Hi Carl,
I have tried in SS4 and SS3 and am using Connect U2.
The note is using a text style from a dgnlib which is available to both versions.
The original file that I referred to was made up of a lot of references, with the annotation in the live file. When I flatten the file, the majority of areas now report correctly when opened in connect. I have zipped up the original file and it's immediate references which include the group holes (not including the full nested paths)
0501C_p_Insulation-All.dgn is the master file. 0501C_p_Insulation-All - Copy.dgn has been opened in connect and displays incorrect areas.
