OpenRoads exception on closing

Question

Hello,

On closing OpenRoads Designer and OpenRail Designer, I receive the dialog box asking me to Abort, Retry, or Ignore and that an exception log has been filed.

Fullscreen Exception-20220513-100203.log Download

Exception caught in source file e:\builds\cif10102104\Source\Cif\src\managed\ui\tools\PrimitiveCommand\PrimitiveCommand.cs at method OnModelMotionInternal

================================================================================
Exception : The instance is not persisted.

I checked Task Manager and the process OpenRoadsDesigner.exe never closes even if I select Abort in the dialog box. This happens no matter what file I choose to open. No customization has been done. I have done the typical restart machine, reinstall with Admin privileges, etc.

Any help is appreciated.

If you are seeing this crash even when opening a blank dgn from seed, no matter the workspace, then something likely didn't install properly. I first recommend trying to refresh your preferences. See this wiki: (+) ORD Preferences Location - OpenRoads | OpenSite Wiki - OpenRoads | OpenSite - Bentley Communities . If that doesn't work, perform a clean uninstall: (+) Uninstall Process for OpenRoads Designer - OpenRoads | OpenSite Wiki - OpenRoads | OpenSite - Bentley Communities . If it is specific to the dgn or a set of dgns then the issue is not with the installation but something inside of the dgn. In that case, I recommend filing a service request so we can investigate the dgn further.

We have been noticing this with ProjectWise when there is VBA macros being run. I was also getting errors on opening but was able to get past them by not trying to pass any custom types like TagSets or Cells from a function. 
 I have a suspicion that is when the classes that use "ImplementsModelActivate" events are being terminated, but I haven't tested that. 
 Can anyone else confirm that they are seeing issues with PW and VBA macros in 2021 R2?

Hi Sean, 
 
 We have been using the ORD 2021 R2 Priority Build (10.10.23.15) and this is resolved. It still sometimes crashes on exit, but now only after document is checked in, freed, etc.
