Adding custom - AutoCAD DWG block to spec editor

[fahmi_audishNMWLM]

Hello,
I am currently working on adding Pressure Transmitters to the spec using "Custom - AutoCAD DWG block".
I have made a DWG of this transmitter and then made a block and then added a port.
I have opened Spec editor > Create New Component > Custom - AutoCAD DWG Block based graphics > Number of connection ports "1" > select the DWG of the P. Transmitter.
So, the component is now added to the catalog, then I have also added the component to the spec "Instrument metric".

After opening Plant 3D, that P. Transmitter is not visible in the TOOL PALETTES under the tab "instrumentation spec".

I am using AutoCAD Plant 3D ver. 2024.

Please who can help me to make this?
Thanks in advance for all the responses.

@fahmi_audishNMWLM 

have you also updated the instrumentation.spec with your Plant 3D project?

[fahmi_audishNMWLM]

Yes, I do this at every changes in the specs>

The thing is, I see "instrumentation Metric" in the Pipe specs (pic 1), but I can't select it in the box for "Route Pipe" (pic 2)

If you open your Instrumentation Metric Spec from your P3D project for editing in the Speceditor, is your new component also available?

[fahmi_audishNMWLM]

Yes, 

[h_eger]

Can you check whether you can see your component in the Spec Viewer?

[fahmi_audishNMWLM]

No, I can not see my component in the Spec Viewer

[h_eger]

Then the component is not in your P3D Project Instrumentation Metric Spec.
As already written at the beginning!

[fahmi_audishNMWLM]

How can I solve this, do you perhaps have a method to properly include this component in the project?

Now a quick question:
How was your AutoCAD Plant 3D basic training?
Was this topic not covered?

[fahmi_audishNMWLM]

Basic training, but I have now a good experience in making a pipe spec, onl dit topic not.

Open your Instrument Metric Pipe Spec in the Project Manager under the Pipe Spec folder with a right click and Edit Spec...
You can then add your component from your catalogue to your Instrument Metric Pipe Spec project and save it.

Then restart Plant 3D and it should work.

But now you know which areas of Plant 3D you should still train!
