All butterrfly valves turning into ball valves

[mihkel567]

Hello

I'm working on a P&ID schematic in AutoCAD Plant 3D, and I've encountered an issue where all my butterfly valves are being displayed as ball valves. In the specification, they are correctly listed as butterfly valves, but when assigning tags, they show up as ball valves (B) instead of butterfly valves (BU). Additionally, whenever I create a new valve, it automatically turns into a ball valve when i have clearly taken it from butterfly list PID ISO.

Has anyone encountered same problem before? tried searching for an hours but only found solution to set open/closed state the valve but for me that did not work.

@mihkel567 ,

please document how you create the P&ID symbols and assign them to your project step by step.

I assume that the block name has not been changed and therefore P&ID always reverts to standard symbol.

Problem got solved with giving TargetObject.Valve type[aa] 1 more letter in project setup. So originally it was 1 text character, i did fixed length and 2 and now it works. 

Best of luck to you all, thanks for the fast response!
