Support for Multiple Intermediate Point Creation on Flexible Hoses with Fittings
Two new context menu options, Offset Point, and Intermediate Point, allow you to create multiple intermediate points when you route a flexible hose with fittings. You can place one fitting, construct the hose, and finish by placing the second fitting. You can also place both fittings and construct the hose switching between Intermediate Point and Offset Point commands.

New Show Violations Dialog Box Provides Visual Feedback for Flexible Hose Violations
The message box that displays when you check a problematic bend radius has been replaced with the new Show Violations dialog box. The new Show Violations dialog box displays a tree view of spline segments where bend radius violations occur. Selecting a node in the dialog box highlights the corresponding segment in the graphics window.
