Dear @Mohammadjamali75 ,

 

Attention:

P&ID symbols have absolutely no influence on the ISO symbols.
Both symbols must be configured for the respective area (P&ID or ISO).

All object should be made with same units.
Command: dwgunits. Don't use imperial units or you have to rescale all blocks. Have you checked dwg units in *.dwt file ?

Hi - Firstly i am thankful For ur attention .

secondly : i know that P&ID IS separate From Plant 3d  

i can Set P&ID New Symbol  with Originals but in 3d plant, it is impossible  😑😥

Hi , thank you for attention .

all  Iso object or P & ID object must build in unitless mode and then use scale factor for them

Solution :

have in mind that :

Before start Drawing Symbol Set ur File Unit on [ Unitless]

Secondly : Your Symbol Most has 1.5*1.5 unitless  dimension 

Third : Flanges most Drawing in 0.5 unitless Dimension 

Fourth: In P&ID Symbols Scale is 10  and 3d plant Iso   Scale is  20 

after These u could approve to Suitable Iso Format
