Remove automatic segment split

When a tee/branch has been modeled in a straight run of pipe and a new data point is needed Before the branch point, AutoPIPE now breaks the downstream segment of the straight pipe run (user must agree to proceed in pop-up dialog box). This creates 3 segments at each branch and changes all downstream data points which can be quite problematic for revising a previously modeled system. It also increases modeling time for new systems by having to rejoin segments each time a branch is modeled. Maybe this automatic segement split can be removed?

    I agree with this. It happens too often when adding a new node before a tee point . It forces splitting the segment, when it should not. The way around that is to go to next point and insert point "after". This may have started in 2024 version. In the attached file, try inserting a point before a tee point and press OK to get the message. The model is in 2024 version. This does not happen in Walkthru.dat sample. I will log this as an error.

    Please raise a service case and provide all steps to repeat or video and we will take a look. I do not think there is an enhancement to be made, so setting this to Will not implement.
