Was wondering how hard it would be to program into the software that the following two scenarios can't happen:

1. If you are drawing a pipe designated "ZONE PIPE", it will not allow you to connect to a pipe designated "MAIN PIPE". Either connecting by starting from or ending on.
2.If you are drawing a main pipe designated "MAIN PIPE", it will not allow you to connect to a pipe designated "ZONE PIPE". Either connecting by starting from or ending on.

I know this would get rid of a lot of issues people may have with errors when they have used the wrong pipe.

Thank you for your suggestion Gennaro.

The program already does not allow connections between zone and mainline items -it only places them. However, I have requested that the program tell us it cannot connect the two items with a screen message.

I know what you mean, but if it doesn't snap, then you can't see that its not connected. Code, should force the pipe/item to connect via snap, then run a quick cross check to see pipe types and/or hyd item type and if not compatible, warning or, unsnap to last command. Sounds like we are both saying the same thing, so sounds great when it happens.
