I am working on a pretty basic workflow that has been crashing my sessions like clockwork. I have submitted the crash report each time. Here is what my workflow consists of:
- Open an existing sheet file as Read Only in Project Wise. Sheet file is setup in an AutoCAD like methodology - one sheet model per file, with the model referenced into the sheet scaled down and rotated to fit on the sheet at xy=0,0, to be plotted at 1:1
- Use the Save As tool to make a new file of the same basic area,, to make a supplemental sheet showing certain elements annotated as COGO points, using the Drafting tools Plan Labeling tool.
- Make a selection set of the required elements, in the model and import them as COGO Points into an ALG file containing one Horizontal alignment.
- Create two XML Reports - one Geometry of the COGO Points and after saving its output to notepad, create a clearance report from the alignment to the points.
- Copy the output from the second report to Excel to paste into the sheet model.
- Use the first report as a script file to place a COGO Point label on each point
- After moving the notes as needed to eliminate overlaps and conflicts, save the DGN, ALG files.
- Copy the geometry project for the next sheet (point numbering begins at 1 on each sheet, so each sheet needs its own ALG file with its own COGO Buffer..
- Close the original ALG and after saving the "new/copied" geometry project, empty the COGO Buffer.
At this point, I begin again at step 1 with the next sheet file in the set. When I get to Step 4, pressing the Apply button on either XML Report dialog box results in the "Send Error Report to Bentley" dialog box and once I hit the go ahead and send button, I get the Abort Ignore Retry dialog box. I have checked the TMP folder where the XML reports are originally written and the files created when this error occurs are zero bytes and they also never get to the point where the report browser opens.
I have repeated this workflow 11 times and each time, the exact same thing occurs.
This is not a complicated workflow, nor is it seemingly complex. All the tools being used are part of native InRoads and MicroStation.
