Using the create complex shape tool crashes Substation every single time.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I've ran in to this issue a lot lately. When I try to use the create complex shape tool, Substation crashes every single time.

Using the following tool settings:

Method = Automatic

Max Gap = 0:0.039

Simplify Geometry = checked

Area = Hole

Fill Type = None

  • Hi Jeff. Does it matter where you do this, for example are you in Create Symbol, or on a project page, 2D, 3D? Does it matter what kind of elements you are joining? I tried it in 2D with some lines and an arc and had no trouble.



  • Hello Matt. I am working on a 2D construction drawing. I'm using place smartline to draw some lines to form a shape. Then using the create complex shape tool, I click one of the lines, click on an adjoining line, and it runs along the connecting lines to close the shape. But when I click to accept the shape, it crashes. I have tried making the shape from smartlines and arcs to create the complex shape, and also tried to join the arcs of a cloud.
