I have files where I can not use "SELECT BY ATTRIBUTES" on shared cells more than two times. My file is based on a converted DWG file containing > 99000 different elements. Most are lines, line strings, shared cells, texts. Some elements where created with Inroads Survey (SS2).
Almost every time a second or third call of "SELECT BY ATTRIBUTES" with different settings is crashing MS, to the message:
"Microstation is not responding any more" for a few seconds then Microstation task is gone.No "Bentley Debug" or "Send error logging" screen.Some hints and known issues?

file: 14084213338.zip a DGN file was uploaded Search for shared cells with given names and set a level to search in. Mostly I set my search properties with the function "select by element"
Repeat the searches with different search properties, patterns => Microstation will crash
I see that nothing looks to be posted as a solution around this issue. I am experiencing the same issue. If I build a script, basic macro or vba macro with a selectby looking for a specific file then execute a replace globally with a different cell, it runs the first time, but somewhere between the 2nd and 4th file, it crashes. I can select the ignore button on the crash, the macro will continue and complete. The same vba macro runs in MicroStation CONNECT with no issues at all. Any solution to this for V8i applications or a way to get around the crash? Seems to be in the selectby mdl somewhere.
