I have been playing with the roundabout tools in the Civil enhancement. Every once in a while when editting or adjusting part of the roundabout, Microstation locks up on me. I need to reboot to get back in. When I get back in the Civil Task does not show on the task manager anymore and my toolbox is gone (but the civil accrudraw and civil help still shows). I need to remove my interface and UPF and create new ones to get them back. Can someone explain either what I'm doing wrong or the software is doing? Is there an easier way to get the Civil task back in the Task Manager?
Thanks!

Steve_G_Mackin:Can the roundabout library be used for a 3 approach setup?
Steve,
Roundabouts can have any number of roadways as long as there is room on the circulatory edge to accommodate the approaches. The larger the circle, the more roads can intersect.
Dave - the attachment didn't come through. But from the details of the additional explanation, my first thought is that there is a problem with your config files. Are you using customized configurations at the project or user level? If so, did you account for the config files used to load the roundabouts functionality.
Your explanations suggest to me that for certain configs, the tools are being loaded basically because they are not included in the CFG files. And perhaps in some of the configurations the roundabout CFG may be incomplete, leading to a crash.
I'm speculating some of course.
There is some information on the function of the CFG files here: http://communities.bentley.com/Products/Road___Site_Design/f/5922/t/12038.aspx#21516
If that doesn't help resolve the problem you might want to call the support line for a quicker resolution.

Hi Robert,
Microstation version = 08.11.05.17
Inroads version = 08.11.05.45
I've attached my Microstation file. There is not much to it. It actually is for another project. I was just using it to test the Civil Roundabout tools.
It's very odd, so times the Civil Task shows and sometimes it doesn't. I can get in one file and it doesn't show, go to another file and it does and then back to the original file and it does. I can usually get the Civil Tasks to show if I create new UPF and interface files.
It has locked up in the following situations:
I usually don't send the errors. I will do this in the future with my e-mail address. That should help a lot.
