Lock Hose Length

Previously, the value in the Actual Length field in the Edit Hose Length dialog box was not a reliable indicator of the length of the flexible hose in an assembly.

The new option, Lock Hose Length, allows you to calculate an exact sum of hose length. When selected, if components move or shift, this option prevents the length of the hose from changing due to adaptivity.

You can also lock hose length by adding a General Dimension from the 3D sketch tab Constraints panel to a flexible hose in the graphics window.
