That's a heck of a weird bug. Using a project with 400+ drawings in it I just duplicated it. On the plus side, if you have the endless patience to click OK to close the many error dialogs that pop up (apparently, one for each of the drawings that's being filtered out of being shown in the project pane), Radian is still alive and functioning fine. It even shows a filtered list just showing maps at the end. I tried with smaller projects (few components) and couldn't duplicate it, so then I tried with a project that had 400+ drawings, figuring that should do the trick. It did. It's not anything to do with shapefiles as that project was originally a Release 8 .map that had imported many AutoCAD files. It just has to do how the filtering logic deals with display of items in the Project pane. Under certain combinations when the system tries to filter out a specified item from display it runs into a bug and pops open a dialog to let you know. Close the dialog and it goes on to the next item. If it hits the same problem with that, it pops open an error dialog again. If you have a lot of drawings that are not supposed to be seen that ends up being a lot of error dialogs to click closed. If you have the patience to close all the dialogs, at the end the display does what it is supposed to do, showing only the maps, and the system keeps on going OK. I wanted to see what happened if I stuck it out to the bitter end to close all the dialogs that popped up so I didn't just kill the process. If there is a next time (unlikely) I'll just kill the process. I don't see much point in trial and error to determine what the number of components in a project between a dozen or 400 will trigger this bug as no doubt engineering will eliminate it immediately. Thanks for the report!
