Using a Non-Standard Pipe Type in HydraCALC

A customer called today asking how to enter a 1″ black plastic underground pipe for the calc. This particular situation sounded unique enough that I did not tell him to add that pipe type to our database, as I would have if he expected to see this pipe type used repeatedly. I told him to…

Switching Decimal and Digit Grouping Symbols for HydraCALC

This one is a bit esoteric for most of you but it is critical to our European customers. HydraCALC will not load the job properly nor print it out if the Decimal and Digit grouping Symbols are not as we expect to find them here in North America. We realize this is an inconvenience and we will try to figure out a way to make it easier in the future.

In the meantime, the Decimal Symbol must be a period (.) and the Digit Grouping Symbol a comma (,) – To change these, go into Control Panel and double-click on the Regional and Language Options. Then pick Customizse and set the Decimal Symbol and Digit Grouping Symbol as mentioned above and as seen below. The other settings do not affect Hydratec software.
