I am running windows 7, autocad 2010, autoplant v8i. upon further investigation, it appears the database itself is showing correctly (ACCESS database), but in the data manager in some cases i have as many as 10 entries for 1 pipe run in the "line list-pipe run" view.
No it is not possible to reproduce the pid crash at will. There seems to be no discernible pattern for why it happens. I was using the software for several days before it ever happened in the first place, i had one day where it happened to me like 20 times, and it hasn't happened now for a couple days.
