Design Line not Filling Full Lengths

[dopefish]

So like the title says, when I have a run that's is greater than a full stick but less than 2 full sticks, instead of putting in a full length and a cut piece it puts in 2 cut lengths. It only seems to be happening in 2021 and above. I still run 2019 and do not have this problem. 

Thoughts?

I just tested in 2022 and 2025 and it works fine on my end.
I drew a line that was approximately 35' long then an elbow and another ~10'.
When filling it gave me a 20' piece then a 14'-some-odd inches piece then 9'-some-odd inches.

Draw a line that's  21'6

One of our users emailed me saying he changed the minimum stretch on the item properties from 0 to 0.001 and it solved the issue.

I don't actually know what that controls or if that is a good solution.

Interesting. at 21'6" is does have this behavior. It seems like anything between 20'1" and 22'1" has this behavior. Once you hit 22'1" it "fixes" it.
For clarification this is on pipe that has a max length of 20'

I tested in both ESTmep & CADmep.

So try the strech fix. Can we get anyone else to weigh in on that as  a fix? and if so who wants to write a recursive method/function to iterate over all the pipes in the database and change that value? I'm digging thru the API now but I cant find that property or a method to access it.

That does seem to fix it, but that's going to be hell changing all our pipe to have that setting. So, if we can run a script to change all of that it would be great.

PINGING DARREN! haha

Dug a little and might have hit on something but I'm not sure.

In the API docs in the SDK folder it looks like in 2020 a class was added called ItemMinMaxIntegerOption

I don't know if this is the correct property or not. Steven MicLogic would probably know.
