Mark, it seems like your child contacts are tagged incorrectly. When you insert a child, you need to associate it to a parent coil by clicking the appropriate button under the child component tag field in the insert/edit component dialog screen, either Project, Drawing, or Parent/Sibling. The child contact's tag name must match the tag name of the parent. You cannot name a child K1-1 if the parent is K1. If the child has the same tag as the parent the cross-referencing will function correctly and parent description data will be passed to the child. Additionally of the parent part number is listed in the pin list database with contact numbers, the contact numbers or pin numbers will be served in order of availability. For example if you insert a contactor whose MFG and CAT are entered into the pin list database properly, the coil connections K1 and K2, A1 and A2, etc. will be filled in for you. As you insert child contacts and associate them to the contactor, L1 and T1, L2 and T2, etc. will be assigned.
