Tutorial 10F.2 - Modified Status Bar Toggles

StatusBar Toggles: Some critical Setup Toggles on the AutoCAD StatusBar

1. Real Time Calculations On / Off Toggle: (AKA"Hyd.NON Auto. Calc / Hyd.Auto.Calc)
For many drawing sizes, this allows calculations to be done in Real Time. This section of the StatusBar turns Automatic Calcs On & Off.

2. Hydraulic Snap On / Off Toggle: (AKA"Hyd. Snap ON / Hyd. Snap OFF) "ON" causes Placement of Nodes to Snap to and Hydraulically Connect with the nearest Hydraulic Object.

3. Static / Dynamic Analysis Type Toggle: Toggles "Static" / "Dynamic Analysis" to Run.
NOTE: Be certain when "Run Dynamic Analysis" is set, that any needed Scenario is set to "Active" or Analysis may fail as due to pressures falling below zero at some point in the Time Run.

4. The small Blue HydrauliCAD Water Drop on the right side is the indicator that Hydraulic Analysis and / or Network Integrity Check ran successfully
