Hi,

we are using Aspose.Words.17.6 and have a problem with drawings… I have this little document, which is basically a WORD document with a diagram in it. When trying to save it, aspose fails with

System.InvalidCastException
  HResult=0x80004002
  Message=Unable to cast object of type 'Aspose.Words.Drawing.GroupShape' to type 'Aspose.Words.Drawing.Shape'.

I have already ungrouped everything in this drawing in WORD but it still fails. I will attach the Program and the file. AsposeGroupShape.zip (42.5 KB)

@kmanol The issue has been addressed in 18.7 version of Aspose.Words. But for some reason the defect number was not included into release notes. That is why notification was not sent. Please accept our apologizes for your inconvenience.
