Problem

After creating complex shape, element is un-editable and causes crashes in MicroStation.

Drawing a linear complex shape hits a control Z to undo the last vertex and MicroStation gives a processor exception error, sometimes an MDL abort in IGEN and a system fault 5 and Processor exception error.

Solution

The complex shape was exceeding V7 format limitation of 101 vertices.
This is not reproducible in V8 as this limitation is non existent.
