Hi,
When I design a straight in my alignment, I use often the point and bearing function. Therefore I use "same" to retrieve the bearing of a point of a string. Retrieving of a bearing of a point is no problem, but when I press OK my bearing is being adjusted to a very strange value. This "bug" is not always active. It looks like it appears out of the blue and will be there until the end of the day.
Compressing my DPF/Model.fil or removing my GDS model doesn't have an affect.
I use MX V8 08.09.05.18
With regards

I found the solution. It has to do with the regional settings in Windows. My regional settings are being adjusted (in Windows) by a logonscript. The decimal symbol was adjusted to a point(.) and the digit grouping symbol was also adjusted to a point(.).
Between the dialog boxes the value was adapted because of the conflicting symbols. This should not have to happen, because you cannot adjust the value of the bearing in "Same Bearing" dialog (box number GD0022).
I think I found a workaround for this bug:
If this error appears you have to adjust the settings for that alignment.
Therefore you edit you're horizontal alignment.
In dialogbox HA0293 (Horizontal Design - Old Alignment) choose Design Parameters
Be sure that the angular units are correct in dialogbox HA0296 (Element Design Parameters)
A bug in some feature sets the angular units in a different way. For Bentley to find out where that bug is :).
