A lot of times I find my users trying to sneak around the standards. I am quick to inform everyone when in training that if they have a question or are stuck, ASK! They don't and ususally get hung up on a couple things. The three that come to mind for me are:

1. Spec breaks
2. Process Line Manager
3. Linking arrows

Some others I notice are when valve sizes dont change when a line size is updated. If you CATT on the valve and erase the Size, voilla! The right size appears when you click OK. What are some of your favorites?

Those would probably be the biggest ones for me as well. Placing PSV's gets a big much sometimes as well. We don't use the AP method for palcing a Spec break as I find it doesn't always work in terms of splitting the process lines. As well I have mentioned before that we don't link our off page connectors till very late in a project and then sometimes I just do it to avoid the inevitable problem by letting the users do it.
