To Set Up a Symbol List (P&ID Only)

Use symbol lists to enforce standard sizes for items such as pipe specs, pipe sizes, and instrument types, or when you want designers to choose from a predefined set of options.

1. In the Project Setup tree view, expand P&ID Class Definitions.
2. Continue to expand the list until you locate and click a component (for example: Centrifugal Blower).
   
3. On the Class Settings pane, under Properties, click Add.
   
4. In the Add Property dialog box, do the following;
   
   • Click Symbol List.
   • Specify a property name for the component or line (for example: Blower_Manufacturers).
   • Specify a display name for the component or line (for example: Blower Manufacturers).
   • Click OK.
   Note: To create a property that uses a symbol list, you assign more than one symbol to the component class definition.
5. In the Symbol List Property dialog box, click Add Row.
6. In the Add Row dialog box, under Property Value, enter the name of the new symbol list entry (for example: Jackson). Click OK.
   
7. In the Symbol List Property dialog box, under Property Value, click the new entry. Under Block Value, in the drop-down list, click a symbol to assign to the property value.
   
8. Continue adding rows until the symbol list is complete.
9. Click OK.
