Snap to flexible parts

[Jaco van der Molen]

As of 1.7 path donor snap information is used in the resulting bend part.But only if it uses static placement.

So in theory all you need is an alternative donor segment and some path placement tweaks.

And It will probably snap better when you disable all segment scaling options.

Right. Now I need to dig in this matter.
I have no idea how to make paths, static placement, scaling, etc.... 
I thought if I add the snap info from a 3L bar on the segment that makes the ridgid hose and scale that down to 1LDH high, it would work

I was hoping someone could make this and put in as standard?
After all, it is a rather common building technique involving putting piece on such hose.
Not only clips, but also other parts with holes that fit the hose.
