Is there a way to add to the PlaceHolder Spec? I'd like to have a central location for items that will be used on all project, ex: pressure gauges, expansion joints, flow meters.... It seems like this would be much easier than adding every individual item to all specs in all projects. How do others do this?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to add additional items as you have described to the PlaceHolder Spec. This is by design with how Plant 3D pulls items from the PlaceHolder Spec. If you have common parts you want to use and then pull them into separate specs, you should be using Catalog Builder.

So they all need added to every spec? Is there a way to create a central spec like an "INSTRUMENTS" spec and then turn off the iso spec break for just that one spec?
Is there a way to turn off spec breaks on a spec by spec basis? I'd really like to avoid having spec breaks every time a add an instrument...
