The symbol path that is written to the database when you create an item in Catalog Manager and the data path in SmartPlant P&ID Options Manager must be the same. If the paths are different, the software displays the symbol as an unintelligent graphic. The symbol path serves as a pointer in SmartPlant P&ID Options Manager and is written to the database after you place a symbol; whereas the data path is a general path to the reference data.
