Calypso 2025 line profile plot troubles

I have just started using Calypso 2025 (8.0.12) and using the new GD&T characteristics. In 2024, I had to do some irritating stuff to get my line profile plots to display correctly in Piweb. I have 2D curves that have one contiguous nominal segment, but there are multiple parts that I cannot measure due to physical obstructions or surfaces we simply choose to ignore. In order to get these to display properly, i have to: mask the unscanned portions with limit evaluation, use segment tolerances to define evaluation segments for the parts I actually check, create a dedicated Piweb plot page for each profile and explicitly bind them per page, and finally de-select the segments that were not measured or evaluated. This is what I came up with to get Piweb plots to behave like I was used to with curve forms and graphics elements.

The GD&T line profile characteristic does not appear to transfer this segment information to Piweb. Instead, I have a single segment available, and while the portions of the curve that aren't measured or evaluated aren't shown as part of the plot, Piweb is connecting the nominal and tolerance band lines together across these masked zones. This is basically the same problem I had with the old line profile plots if I didn't use segment tolerances. These segments don't appear in the green circle tab in the GD&T line profile characteristic either.

Is this something that anyone else has encountered? Is it fixed in a patch? I'm having to revert to the old line profiles and use secondary alignments to properly set orientation in the meantime.
