Keynote format in Connect edition differs from V8i

We use the keynote utility extensively.  After inputting all of our parameters and placing a keynote, all is well, except that the leader line comes of the lower left corner of the text, not at the left middle, see below.

I have tried editing the KEYNOT cell in the econdoc.cel library in the directory pointed to by TFKEY_DIR, by moving the place holder text down so the origin is at the midline.  I have given the text the a LEFT CENTER justification.   Nothing works.  Perhaps this is related to the CONNECT property that makes the keynotes subject to annotation scale (which we don't need). 

 Please advise, as this makes the tool useless.

  • Here is an update on this issue, for which service request 7000760148 has been filed.  

    I spent a while today with Gerard of Bentley Support investigating this.  

    Both his out-of-the-box Connect Update 2, and my networked Connect Update 1 versions crash when the place legend tool is invoked, all using the delivered keynote support files.  A .knt file is created, of zero size;  the log  stops while indicating "scanning"; the software exits without further warning.   

    This is a fundamental flaw in the operation of this tool, and not a request for enhanced services.

    I would appreciate any insight as to how to get this tool to work, as it is a fundamental part of our Architectural workflow and worked perfectly in SS6.  

    I note that the Connect versions are advertised as bringing the annotation scale functionality to keynotes.  Is it possible that this added function requires additional settings somewhere?

    Has anyone else experienced anything like this, or any different results?
