P&ID Symbol List, AutoCAD Plant 3D 2027

mario_biasi_athenagroupsrl — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 14:37:38 GMT

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a "symbol list" type parameter for a P&ID instrumentation symbol.

I have created the parameter and associated the symbol with the list option, but the symbol does not display the list of options in the drawing, and the configuration is not being saved in AutoCAD Plant 3D.

Can anyone help me?
Many thanks.

How did you make this "symbol list"?

Hi @Tomislav.Golubovic,

I created a new parameter associated with the class I was interested in and selected the "symbol list" option for the parameter type.

Next, for that same class, I created the blocks and then the symbols I wanted to associate with it.

Finally, I modified the "symbol list" parameter associated with each of the three values—which correspond to the symbols loaded into the class—so that they would appear as options.

I have followed this procedure with various other symbols before and never encountered any issues.

In what sense do you want to know how I created this symbol list?

Hi @lauri_barnhart

I activate the notify, but I don't receive the email.

I don't know why.

Hello @mario_biasi_athenagroupsrl

I noticed that for P&ID classes, the symbol list would not work unless the "Normally" property was included.

For Plant 2027, the 2027.1 update is available via the portal:
www.autodesk.com/account

I used the "Magnetic" symbol as an example.

== French ==

J'ai constaté, au niveau des classes P&ID, que dans la liste des symboles si on n'appeler pas la propriété "Normaly", la liste ne fonctionnait pas.

Pour la version Plant 2027, un mise à jour 2027.1 est disponible depuis le portail

Hi @DVaquand ,

I'have tried redefine the parameter and symbol list, but it don't work, even if I've installed the 2027.1 version of AutoCAD Plant 3D.
In the parameter's lista I don't have "Normally" parameter.
Please see the attached video.

Thanks.

Hello @mario_biasi_athenagroupsrl

You must add this property manually because it does not exist by defaul

== French ==

Il faut ajouter manuellement cette propriété car elle n'existe pas par défaut.

Hi @DVaquand,

sorry for the late of my answer.

I've tried add Normally parameter as a Symbo List, but the result is the same.

When I use the symbol, changing selected option of Normally parameter don't match with the associated block.

See the attached video.

Thanks.

Hello @mario_biasi_athenagroupsrl

Write "Normaly" with a single "l"

== French ==

Ecrire "Normaly" avec un seul "l"
