Pipe Change Notification
It would be good to be notified when running LP design if a pipe size has changed in the system. We had a case where construction laterals were installed incorrectly at one point, I then fixed the pipe size at the error location, re-run LP Design and nothing seemed to change. Then I noticed at the beginning of the field a single lateral size changed. I was unaware of this change initially.

Re: Pipe Change Notification
The reason for running LP Design is for IRRICAD to select the pipes for you based on the allowable parameters and limitations (such as manually specified pipe). This means if you change something then IRRICAD can potentially change any of the pipes that are allowed to be changed ("Computer Sized" is enabled in the Pipe properties).
Therefore, if you make a manual change and just need to update the reports based on the change just run Analyze instead of one of the pipe sizing options.
However, I will add the suggestion for a message to indicate that pipes have changed to the Future Features Request list. This will be helpful if a pipe sizing option is run accidentally so that a user is aware and can still "Undo" that before it is too late and then select the correct analysis option.
