more bugs/crap content/broken tools - U-Bracket

I want to add a saddle clamp to a steel pipe, the pipe is to be hard up against the steel member it sits on.

 

When trying to add a 'u-bracket' from the pipe supports tool,

plant is insisting on having a positive dimension in the 'BH' field.

 

the tooltip says that if BL of BW are 0 or -1, then no pipe pad will be drawn

if i have them at 0, no pad is drawn (as expected)

it will not allow me to have a -1 in the BL or BW fields

 

when not using a pipe pad (BL & BW are set to 0), it is still insisting on a non zero positive number in the BH field, any dimension here will force the legs of the strap into the adjacent steelwork!

 

is this considered a bug

is this going to be fixed

is there a better work around than using a tiny value [say 0.1mm] for BH (and living with the 0.1mm interference)
