ACADE 2010 IEC Illuminated pushbutton

How do you do this correctly ?
Under Pushbuttons-Illuminated Pushbuttons there are the contacts and +2nd lights.
Sure would seem like they go together.....Why have the lamps with no connection points ?

So what is the proper way to do illuminated pushbuttons ?

My input and output are on separate pages.

Sure seems like the easy solution is to have the +2nd light symbols be light symbols with connection points..

Thanks

I struggled with the same question. It was a simple matter to just make my own child component for this requirement using the +2nd light as the starter dwg for the symbol and adding the connection points. Rather than overwriting the dwg file I created a new one just in case someone would eventualy explain the intended usage of the +2nd light block. Though idealy, it makes no sense showing an electric lamp on a schematic without any wire connections. The only other available selection within the default symbol library I found was the pilot lights, but they are not child components. This doesn't work well with some manufacturer part numbers that sell illuminated push buttons as an assembly.
