Linked Block DimStyles causing crash in Rhino 7

I’m running into some unexpected behavior when working with blocks that have annotations in them.

If I insert a block, for example a Title Block, with annotation objects, everything seems fine if I use Embedded + Linked, or Linked with the Layer Style set to Active.

However, if I use a Reference Layer Style:

And then go to the Annotation Styles:

image819×669 23.4 KB

I see them in the Drop down on the left, but if I click on one, to see the settings, then Rhino 7 crashes without any warning or prompts.

If it is either of the other two scenarios (Linked w/ Reference Layer Style OR Embedded + Linked) then it seems to work fine, though there is a noticeable pause as it tries to load the Annotation Style window the first time.

The crash does still save a RhinoDotNetCrash file to the desktop:

[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.InvalidOperationException: Dispatcher processing has been suspended, but messages are still being processed.

[END ERROR]

Can certainly use the other block settings for now, but seemed important to note.

I think it would be helpful if you posted the results of running Rhino’s SystemInfo command and a .3dm file that demonstrates this.

Thanks for the reminder!

Here’s a model that simply has 1 leader in it, with a dim style copied from one of the Built-In styles.

Hi,

Just chiming in to say that I have this issue as well. Instant crash when clicking on a referenced block annotation style. Any updates or news regarding this? It’s quite frustrating when I accidentally click the wrong style and crash the software…
