You should find an existing symbol similar in geometry to your custom symbol, nozzle location, and orientation, and so forth, and use its bulkload datasheet as a base in which to prepare a datasheet to bulkload the new symbol.

For example, to bulkload inline valves with two nozzles use the ‘BALR’ worksheet in the Piping.xls sheet. To bulkload an inline symbol when there is a change in diameter ‘REDC’, use the Piping.xls worksheet. You can have as many attributes as occurrence attributes (property values which can be changed at runtime), but this should be specified in the same row where the SymbolDefinition is mentioned.

A new symbol’s non-graphic data should be added in a specified Microsoft Excel workbook. For example, Piping.xls should be edited for a new Piping symbol. Equipment.xls should be edited for a new Equipment symbol. Each of these Excel books defines the classes, parts, specifications, rules, and so forth. Some common workbooks, such as, AllCommon.xls and AllCodeLists.xls might need to be edited.

For each unique symbol, a separate worksheet should be added to the Microsoft Excel workbook with appropriate detail. You can use the Microsoft Excel workbook generated by the Part Definition Symbol Wizard. Provide nozzle information in the part class Excel sheet depending on the number of nozzles in the newly created symbol. Use ‘A’ to append, ‘M’ to modify, and ‘D’ to delete data into the Catalog database when bulkloading in Append mode.
