Stp. import, convert to block, plantpartconvert, parts change in model but have the original in parts detail.

Good afternoon, 

I imported stp. files into plant 3d 2021. I used the block command, named all of them differently, then plantpartconvert and added correct ports. Each part has its own drawing. Once completed I use plant 3d spec editor. I choose to create a new  component, use the custom-autocad dwg block based graphics and fill out all the information and save the item. Then I add each item to the spec I need it in. Once I open a drawing in plant 3d and select one of the new items I have added to the spec it populates in the model correctly. However as soon as I change to another part I have created and added to the spec the part shows up in the model with the block graphics of the first item I used, as do all other items i have added. The ports are correct but the image in the model is not. I tried changing all the block titles and resetting all the plantpartconvet ports and it still remains to do the same. 

This is a screen shot of when I use the first item from the spec I wanted.

Then when I select and place the next item it shows the same image as the first but has the ports of the part I have selected. As shown in the screen shot below.

do the basic blocks have the same name?
does this also happen in a completely new project or only in your test project/drawing

Is there any chance you can share the project spec + catalog (with folder)

All the basic blocks have individual names. This happens in a completely new project as well. I can not share that catalog folder due to company policy's. I can share the STP. files if that will help.

If you can share the .shp files that might be helpful, but I still suspect that somewhere in your workflow the duplicate definition was created unintentionally. Have you tried the catalog part in a new dwg/ project?
