[CONNECT Update 16] URL Link name and address

I've added a URL link to a DGN element.  The link is functional, but I'm puzzled about the URL link Link Name and Address.  The screenshot below shows MicroStation's Properties of the DGN element having a DgnLink that stores a URL...

URL link

The HTTP Address is valid.  When I select the link I can pop my web browser at the page specified by the URL.

It's the Link Name that I don't understand.  By default, Link Name shows the URL.  I want to change it to something human-friendly.  However, when I change that field to, say, AreaAnnotator, two things happen...

  1. The Link's name in the top properties window changes to AreaAnnotator
  2. The Link Name reverts immediately to display the URL

What's going on?

  • I have not reported it, in this version (nor CE). My last report was V8i.

    WRT the other occurrence. I've just noted that this appears to now be a problem with changing screens and their respective resolutions.
    I have raised this with Bentley, and a workaround is in place, but the issues affected are getting worse. No real answer to this one yet. I suspect Bentley need to take a closer look at their programmers.
