Problem Description

STAAD.Pro crashes when a model referencing EXTERNAL USER PROVIDED TABLE ( .UPT file ) is modified using the text editor mode followed by SAVE ->File->EXIT.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open a .std file which references an external upt file
  2. Open the command editor and make any change
  3. From inside the editor click on Save.
  4. Click on File > Exit
  5. STAAD.Pro crashes

Workaround

One needs to write the user table property data in the editor itself as opposed to referring the external upt file. Section 5.19 of the Technical Reference Manual describes how each section type can be defined.

Solution

The issue has been addressed in version 20.07.10.66
