Converting Base Auto CAD PID to P3D

I was tasked with updating a PID that was originally created in base autocad.  I used some of the blocks on the symbol key sheet for my class definitions so they would be consistent.  It was a 30 page PID so I converted it to P3D in phases.  This was my first P3D project.  If I put an asset on a sheet with one of those blocks remaining it uses that old block.  If I have updated the block since then in the class definitions I can open project setup and click apply and it updates all the blocks.  It only updates blocks that conflict with an asset in the sheet.  So as I convert more of it I run into this less but it does still happen.  The graphical style field shows the correct style in either case. I wanted to put this out there in case anyone out there is converting an old PID like I am.  Don't use those old blocks in your class definitions.

That and also you can choose to use PIDCONVERT to directly convert cad objects to a P&ID symbol without having to create the symbol in the database.
