Is there any significance when using the LC Generator that the P Delta is only auto filled for IBC Strenght Load cases and not IBC ASD LC's?

There is little significance to that.

But, if you're using ASD wood design or the older AISC 9th edition steel design, you are not required to do P-Delta.

Newer codes (AISC 13th ASD) require P-Delta. Perhaps, the program should change that so that it always requires P-Delta when using the LC generator.
