- Critical fix – The 12th row of the Active Valve Editor table is no longer editable. This row has always been designated for special use internally. The actual area ratio applied in the analysis for active valves which are defined with the valve description in row 12 are linear values such as those used for globe valve and not the values as input into row 12 in versions previous to 8.017. This only applies to Surge analyses where the Active Valve defined by row 12 is opened, closed or uses or a ratio other than 1 or 0.

- Optimal Design Menu will now automatically sort pipe cost info by pipe diameter before an analysis is complete.
- User Information feature added for Pipe2018 excluding GoFlow.
- ‘Open as TXT’ and ‘Open as DOC’ option added to all text reports including the Analysis Report.
‘Open as TXT’ opens the report in notepad (or the default text app). It does not ask for a file name, and saves in the kyp folder with the same name. ‘Open as DOC’ opens the report in Word (or the default app). It does not ask for a file name, and saves in the kyp folder with the same name.
- Added ‘Print as Unformatted Text’ open to all text reports including the Analysis Report when the Print option is selected. The ‘Print’ button will ask, ‘Print as Unformatted Text?’ If “Yes” it opens the report in notepad, prints it, and then quits.
