Let Revit obey locked parameters

Let Revit obey locked parameters

We have a number of items on which we have locked length parameters (calculated!). Locking parameters can only be done by editing the .itm file (not in a placed part). 
Works as intended in Cad, no issues there. However, if the part is used in Revit, it allows stretching (which in itself is fine), but instead of adding new parts according routing specs (like it does in Cad), stretching is overriding the LOCKED parameter and changes the length (which still is greyed out by the way, so manual change is not possible) removing the calculation.

Ofcourse, as Autodesk usually does, they call it by design (they never have a bug).
Locked parameters should be respected at all times, they are locked for a reason. If we want them to be allowed to change, we do not lock them.

So here's the idea (as Autodesk calls for an enhancement idea instead of bug solving):
Respect locked parameters (as you do in CAD)!

Attached the movies and pictures that have also been submitted to autodesk as an issue.
