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'

Have AutoCAD select a group of pipe dimension blocks with a specific diameter or length. 

In this example I want to find and delete all diameters with a ?" as its value.
