Currently I don't see the established 1/2" ease default in the back inseam -- at least not on the fitted pants, slim fit pants, or jeans where I certainly expected to see it. It is present, however, in the sloper.

Was there a reason for this ... or are there plans to bring it back in a future update?

sorry, responding to my own post -- I just checked the archives and on Sept 9 Bob said this was a bug and would be fixed in a future update ... so I guess it got missed

BTW my measurement set is clearly checked as a woman's and I do not own the Menswear package.

But I do hope that this default will return in the future.

Using fit or ease tool whichever you ownwhen the setting reads 0 and you desire inseam ease enter 0.5 and redraft.

Thanks, Kaaren. Yes, I know how to get it -- it's just important for anyone who is used to it being a default be aware that this is no longer automatically part of fitted pants drafts.

And I am sure that I will forget at least once before I print out and cut a pattern to include this step. Since it's been default ever since I owned the software (from DS Lite 4.0 several years ago) this is something we've been trained to expect.

Funny that it is default on the sloper, though.
