The length of Flexible Hose should have a fix setting

The length of Flexible Hose should have a fix setting

When drive or move the assembly components, the length of Flexible Hose will change.

 

There should have a setting to fix the flexible hose's length, because after the design, you don’t want to change the hose length when moving the components.

Well, Solidworkers seem to be better off here.

agreed. I think the ability to fix the length of the hose would be a great plus when you're working with moving components for example a front end loader or backhoe or a set of trailer brake hoses this feature would be great help

Having the ability to dimension a spline for fixed length would be a wonderful edition. Being able to measure total spline length and total loop length would also be very useful when planning for manufacturing hoses. This is a primary reason why I don't currently utilize Inventor for creating hoses.

Hey Guys,

 

Few of our customers in our Region (Coimbatore , India) have recently started to ask for this feature and too bad to know that this functionality has not been implemented yet . Please please bring this feature at the earliest.

Oh my god , I was really astonished to see the lock option for the hose length ... Can we expect this feature in Inventor 2019 ?
