Specifies the loop height to width ratio that should be maintained when building the loop. Available options are 2.0, 1.0, 0.5, and none.

Select none if the segments of the selected loop configurations still coincide with the original element run. For example, segment #4 of Loop Type #1, segment #6 of Loop Type #2, segments #1 and #5 of Loop Type #3, segments #1 and #7 of Loop Type #4, or segment #1 of Loop Types #5 and #6 have a length equal to exactly the length of a long radius bend.

This entry does not apply when you select Loop Types #7 or #8. In this case, the height to width ratio is not used. The height varies as necessary and the width is held constant to the length necessary to make up the original element length. This last option is often preferable in areas where there is limited room for wide loops.
