The custom shape library doesn’t currently sync properly with the document. When I export the shape data as a CSV the custom shapes don’t export with their names or with their shape library name. I have to make a lot of shapes in the custom library because a lot of the shapes I need are not included in the standard library (P&ID process engineering elements like cyclones, spiral banks, vibrating screens, etc.) and I need the information from all the shapes in order to do my material takeoff with the CSV file. So either better integration of the custom library or more process engineering shapes would be greatly useful.

To clarify, for information on what is available with a CSV export of shape data, I recommend reading through this. Please let me know if you have any additional questions on this!

I can certainly understand your feedback on process engineering shapes here! Thank you for providing the details on which P&ID process engineering elements you would like to see- cyclones, spiral banks, vibrating screens, etc. These detailed comments are helpful for our product teams as they continue to research product enhancements and new features. 

Just to include one possible resource that might also be helpful, thought I’d share the P&ID Examples & Templates blog on the chance it is helpful for you or other users who come across this post!
