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.

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'

All layers where objects should appear white in AutoCAD will randomly turn brown in color (colors 18, 19, 248, or 249)

Note the pipe dimension and main piping in the image above are brown instead of white.

When clicking the Calculate button or the OK button from the Pre-Calc Questions window, you get a Runtime-error 5,

Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument

Double-clicking your HydraCALC icon makes nothing happen.  You do not see HydraCALC open onscreen nor on your taskbar.  HydraCALC does not open other than in the task manager.

If you open your task manager and see the app "Hyd_prog.exe" open but not on your taskbar, then the application is stuck in purgatory.

Another possibility may be that it's on the taskbar but not on your screen.  That means it's open but offscreen. 

See this HydraCARD to fix that issue;  HydraCARD 565 only AFTER you've checked on the solution below.

When running the "FSC Setup" to "Create FSC Definition". 
Upon finishing the block definition, the block definition is missing a crucial property for "Hydraulic equivalent length is referenced by:". This field will show blank or the default generic text and did not include the HydraCALC pipe/fitting reference information.

There is a missing HydraCALC "ImportExport" directory.

Default line text:
`Hydraulic equivalent length is referenced by: shortname with length number - longname Listing: FM`

After running the AutoCALC process on a long grid system, you realize some of the gridlines in the middle didn't get picked up.

Autocad seems "jumpy" and the screen occasionally flickers.  Sometimes, an in-progress command will cancel out when the screen jumps
