Summary


Details

Since I installed MP6 for Solid Edge 2021 I do not see the "Tube Flat Length" displayed for frames in my Parts List in drafts.  Until MP5 I always used to use the property "Tube Flat Length" to get the length for tubes and frames in my Parts List.  Now, with 2021 MP6 this property does not display the frame length but only the tube length.

Solution

Actually, it was wrong to display the frame length with the property "Tube Flat Length".  This was not the case with ST10 and was changed unintentionally with Solid Edge 2019.  This false behavior was discovered in Solid Edge 2021 and filed in a Problem Report.  This Problem Report has been solved in MP6 for Solid Edge 2021.

The property "Tube Flat Length" should not display the frame length. The behavior was correct with ST10 and is again correct with 2021 MP6. The behavior was wrong from version 2019 until 2021 MP5 inclusive.
