More components in one complete device

Hi.

 

I have a complete control panel, it has a little push buttons:
1 Emergency stop (button S1)
2 Start-up/forward (button S2)
3 Start-up/back (button S3)
3 Stop (button S4)
5 Local/remote (selector switches S5)

This control panel is delivered completely and has one catalog number.
The scheme of connection in the panel can be different.

To what can unite buttons in one device with one custom-made number?

Thanks!

Leave S1 (Emergency Stop) as is. Copy the symbols for the other switches and rename them to show them as child components. Then edit the switches and change TAG1 to TAG2, also remove the CAT and MFG attributes. Add the catalog number to your default cat and you should be right.

 

When you insert S1, select the catalogue number. as you add the other switches in that particular control panel, make them children of S1. Put the switch number in the description and there you have what you need.

 

I've actually made the suggestion to ACAD several times that they should include a KIT attribute so multiple items that come in 1 single kit can be listed with individual tags. This would also work here but as of the 2011 release, I haven't seen anything like it
