Traverse tool will not work with connection lines

[AngelaP]

I've run into a problem when trying to COGO in a connection line using the Traverse tool.

I can see the start point and end point as red squares, but not the connecting lines. I can enter in a perfect square as a test and see that the misclosure is 0, and there is a calculated area, but I cannot see the sketch, finish the sketch, or save the edits. 

I tried to export the traverse to a text file. Opening the file in Notepad reveals that each distance and direction has been saved as "???" and of course importing that text file does not work.

I can use the Traverse tool to enter in lot and parcel lines just fine. Is there something about connection lines that I'm missing?

Hi

I tested this out with a subtype on the 3.0 install (no patches) and I couldnt reproduce the problem. I thought the issue may be the subtype. 

One question - can you create connection lines using the Create pane and a feature template - and do you see this warning? This may be causing your issue...
