I love the Active Angle Assistant macro and have used it for years. I see in the Wiki that there is an updated version available for Connect, but when I try to unzip the package, I get a "header error" and cannot extract the macro file. I understand that these macros are offered with no support, but is there anyone who has been able to download and unzip this successfully? Is there any way I could get a copy of this?
Thank you.
I get an error as well. One file unzips, the other gives me a different error. Ask Inga!

We've got this to work in our workspace for probably the past year. I extracted our MVBA, zipped it, and attached it to this post. Let me know if it works for you.ActiveAngleAssistant.zip
It unzipped! I'll check it out next week when I get back into CONNECT. Thank you!

It looks like this updated version of the Active Angle Assistant for MicroStation CONNECT Edition was placed in this AskInga Wiki article around February by Inga Morozoff. I can't be sure of the source for this updated macro but as you mentioned there would be no support for this. I can confirm, though, that I have been able to download the ZIP file containing this and have successfully opened it. It might be worth checking what tool you might be using to open the ZIP file as this might be the cause of your issue.

I can confirm that unzipping with 7zip doesn't work whereas with filzip everything's fine, so it definitely depends on the unzipping tool.
