Need to dimensioning to face of flange when connecting to a nozzle.

Question

We just recently upgraded to OPIM Version 08.11.09.458, in this new upgrade I noticed that when connecting to nozzles my dimensions are coming from the weld point between the flange and the pipe. We would like this dimension to come from the face of the flange. All other flanged connections are from face of flange.

I have seen this happening only for slip-on type flanges? The workaround solution is to add a shorthand end prep for the slip-on end: 
•	OpenPlant_3D_Supplemental_Isometrics_Isoextractor.01.04.ecschema.xml 
•	Navigate to class: End Type Map 
•	Select the properties tab 
•	Select SLIP_ON 
•	In the isometric value map add SO
