    V7 Complex Shape error

       
      Applies To 
       
      Product(s): MicroStation
      Version(s): V7
      Environment:  N\A
      Area:  Base Geometry
      Subarea:  N\A
      Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group
       

    Problem

    After creating complex shape, element is un-editable and causes crashes in MicroStation.

    Drawing a linear complex shape hits a control Z to undo the last vertex and MicroStation gives a processor exception error, sometimes an MDL abort in IGEN and a system fault 5 and Processor exception error.

    Solution

    The complex shape was exceeding V7 format limitation of 101 vertices.
    This is not reproducible in V8 as this limitation is non existent.
