Be able to set auto-design to off as a preference rather than having to select each link and node

Having a tick box in the preferences to turn auto-design off for the entire model, this is to reduce the risk of the software making changes when inputting an existing network or checking a proposal submitted by others. Currently have to add each ...

Highlight the row and column of the selected cell

To be able to show pipe crossings when plotting long sections.

When plotting long sections, it would be useful to be able to show the crossings from other drainage networks. The crossing are shown on the long sections viewer in flow but not when you plot them.
