Using one of the Victaulic specs, clamps show up in the catalogue/spec editor as TYPE=CLAMP, SKEY=CLVT but insert into the drawing as a P3Dconnector (with no SKEY field listed in the properties box, nor are they available as separate components in the tool palette or spec browser).
When an iso is generated, the clamps show up in the BOM under fasteners heading but the iso symbol shows as a 'MissingIsoSymbolPlaceholder...', aka a box with an asterisk inside.
I did edit the IsoSkeyAcadBlockMap.xml to include SKEY=CLVT (and variations there-of) hoping the 'MissingIsoSymbolPlaceholder...' would be replaced with the iso clamp symbol the that already exists in the Plant3dIsoSymbols drawing, to no avail.
What am I missing???
Is CLVT the right SKEY? I thought it was CLMP.

The spec from Victaulic specifies the SKEY as CLVT, I wouldn't have thought it mattered one way or the other as long as that SKEY is mapped correctly?
Having said that, I did change the SKEY to CLMP as you mentioned & that seems to make the clamp symbol show correctly on the iso.
If the clever people who set up the SKEY mapping xml file put clamp type connectors under 'Flanges' rather than under 'Pipe Supports' (what thought process was behind that one???) it would be a lot easier for you to have resolved the problem. It's just taken me two hours to stumble across this quirk to make iso's drop correctly without placeholders for Victaulic couplings.
