Can you post a screen shot of your family table in CC to show how you have file naming set up?

The default length of all beams, tubes, etc from the content center is .001
Do not forget to put your desired length before placing them. Someone placed them using the default length, then after saving changed the length through the parameters to correct the length, without going back and changing the file name or replacing the beam, tube, etc.
The default length is 0.001" (ADSK programer with a sense of humor). When they are in the IAM, just RMB click on a member, a dialoge box will pop-up and you can change the length (nice thing about CC). You can also as noted, change the default when you are creating/placing from CC

Default length in your table is 0.001" as well. Looks like something is wrong with your table. Does it work correctly with the supplied CC from ADSK?

Probably same guy that decided that 10m was the max length for the supplied CC library 🙂

default table lengths even in provided libraries is .001, but I expect the size designation has a formula set in it to display whatever the length ends up as. Such as =L 1 x 1 x 1/8 - <B_L>
which when displayed shows L 1 x 1 x 1/8 - .001 (or whatever the current length B_L becomes.
If you hover over a content center supplied by AD length column, it will tell you it is actually B_L.
I could be wrong, but I believe you need to type that formula in your size designation field. We use the stock number field set as our description field which excludes the length, then have a seperate field to display the length.
This way it doesn't matter what the part says it is due to multiple changes.
