1. Inserting a hydraulic reference point doesn't erase an existing ref point at the same location

2. New ref points in HydraCALC are not using the values of the HYD ref points.

When I use Pretty Sprinklers, all the nodes that were attached to my sprinklers when using All Ref Points disappeared. 
When trying to get them back by re-running All Ref Points, they don't reappear.

AutoCALC is creating extra node points where there shouldn't be.  In the image below, node 45 shouldn't be created as there's neither a flowing head nor a change in diameter at that point.

'extra node'

'extra ref point'

'extra reference point'

'refpt'

When opening HydraCAD, you only receive this error message and not a HydraKEY error with the golden X.  If you receive a HydraKEY error, search for the linked HydraCARD in that message box as it takes priority.

One or more toolbars cannot be found after selecting a menu or command.

This happens because the toolbar is being opened 'off screen'. This usually happens when the computer has a dual monitor but the 2nd monitor isn't currently connected.
