Inserting Flexible Sprinkler Connections Using the Regular Head Location Tools

HydraCAD V52.04/51.14 instituted a new way to locate flexible sprinkler heads and it couldn't get much easier.

1. Simply insert a 'regular' sprinkler head using any of our sprinkler insertion tools
2. Insert a flexible sprinkler on top of the regular sprinkler

That's it! The regular sprinkler head will get erased when a flexible sprinkler is put on top of it.

This allows the use of all of the sprinkler spacing tools for flex sprinklers. Center and Nearest Osnaps are helpful here. Also, don't forget that AutoLine will also change regular heads into flexible sprinklers
