We use the mdlPatter_area function in different MS Versions from SE to Connect . (We develop MDL since 1989
In Connect we have the following problem which works fine in SE up to V8i.
The same drawing, the same values like cellname , size etc.. , same cell library. It is archpa.cell which we use the origin from Connect and a test with the V8i library.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Connect the patter nlike ANSI31 are not correct scaled, BATEN pattern does not appear etc..
In other drawings ANSI31 etc are OK, but BATEN is missing etc.
It seems that Connect uses additional values from the DGN settings which V8i (or SE to V8i) do not
