Hand select Pipe code

[nickvnlr]

It would be nice to have a "Hand select" code for the pipes in the database. There often pipes that I use in specific situations, but I do not want them available for Irricad to automatically use in manifolds or mainlines. I want to place them manually. There is no good way to do this.
So in addition to LZFM, I would like a "H" Hand placement option which would only be available for placement manually.

Hi Nick,

Please note that there is already a usage code for what you require. It is "S" for mainline pipes that can only be manually selected.
("F" is the equivalent zone pipe usage code).

Thank you for the response.
"S" is not listed in the database help.
"F" is for flush. I don't want the pipes selected for flush out lines either (if I can ever get that to work correctly).

Hi Nick,

Please note that any additions made since Version 16 will be in the Release Notes. However, the addition of the "S" usage code was added in a later patch for Version 20 so does not appear in the V20 Release Notes.

The Readme says: A new usage flag "S" (specify) has been added for pipes. This allows mainline pipes to appear in the dialog, where they can be selected manually by the user, but not be considered during computer selection.


Yes, the manually selected zone pipe usage was given an "F" code, with use as a manually selected flushing manifold in mind, however use of this pipe doesn't cause flushing to occur. This pipe code can be used where you want to manually select the zone pipe but not have this pipe available for computer selection. (I will edit this in the Help Topics when we update the main manual).

I'm not trying to be nit-picky, but there are no "Release Notes" in the DBEditor Help menu (or at all). The DBEditor is where these codes are set. I would not normally think to look in the "Release Notes" for a different, albeit related program for help in the current program when the current program has it's own "Help Me" file.

Maybe both help files should be mashed together and both programs reference/link to the same help file/release notes.
I would suggest to at least link to the release notes in DBEditor.

I will edit this in the Help Topics when we update the main manual.

Thank you!
