High Sierra & VW 2018 Viewport bug & workaround

[B Cox]

I've been having recurring crash when editing drawing labels (or creating them) in VW2018 on High Sierra.  I realized this morning that the behavior happens ONLY when a few viewports are grouped together.  This wasn't an issue in previous releases and it seems to be a protected memory fault. 

 

The workaround is to ungroup your viewports, edit the drawing labels, and regroup afterwards.

Drawing labels don't really like it when viewports are grouped generally (possible bug or working as designed) and it sounds like High Sierra is making the issue worse.

My drawing labels are inside the viewports and have been drawing this way since VW2014 without issue.  What kind of experiences were you having?

Mine are in the viewport annotations. They tend to get confused if you take a collection of viewports and group them.
