:D I have a Butterfly Valve and the Size attribute and Tag Number attribute both show up on the P&Id. Is there a way to make the Tag Number invisible but leave the Size visible? They seem to be tied together and it is an all or nothing issue. Is that correct or is there a way to accomplish my task?

The quick way to change any attribute visibility on a drawing is to go to P&ID-Tools...Update...Attribute Visibility and select the symbol you want to update. You can change the visibility on all of the objects on a drawing this way quickly and easily.
If you want to make the visibility changes of your various attributes permanent, you need to go into the annotation block that has the attributes you want to change and set the visibility of the attributes. Remember, if you have a custom directory set for the project, this can be done on a per project basis.

There is a problem, that when i use Attribute visibility command from P&ID> Update menu, it says No Block Selected.

I believe this can be modified in the PidSup.lisp file, same goes for the way a line attribute is show. Bare with me as I am going off memory only.
Line is something like: PSZ-PINS-PSPEC which would show Size-Insulation-Spec.
So for valves, you should be able to change it. If I had my flash drive, I could open up an old lisp file, but I don't have it with me. If I remember tomorrow I will look and try to help you out. This may not be exactly what you want.
Also, what was said above about attribute visibility should work, but you may need to do it for each drawing and also for every new drawing. Whereas modifying the lisp routine, it will automatically "hide" the extra information.
