      Here's what I thought would be a simple DC to make, but I can't get it to do what I expect. Am I missing something obvious, is this completely broken?

        6" instead of 6?

        Just wonders - saw that LenX was 2" while LenZ was 4

          I remade the DC and it is behaving as expected. But I have no idea what's wrong with the previous example, nor how it got to that state.

          No, the units didn't have an effect.

            Here's something. If you open the instance and scale the internal, loose geometry, then the actual size gets out of sync with the size reported in the Dialog.

            Similarly, if you scale the internal, loose geometry to match the size reported in the Dialog, you can get the actual and reported length back in sync.

              oh that's interesting. That sounds like a bug should be reported on that one. It should re-check the size of internals every so often I would think....

                But... it does not happen if it is just a simple DC. If I remove the nested instance, and scale the internal geometry, then the lengths stay in sync.

                  Here's another broke example. It's a simple 4x4 Post with a single formula for the Z height. For me, it just snaps back to 48" no matter how I scale it.
