coil contact xref wrong

The coil contact xref (NO NC) next to the coil is reporting wrong when using a coil with a pin list (ex. SQD 8501RSD44M1P14V60 ). If I insert a NO contact 1st then a NC contact next it xref's it as NO instead of NC. If I insert the NC conact 1st it seems to work ok. It also displays funny showing spaces and commas for unused contacts. This problem also exists on coils I have entered into the database and created pin lists for.

You may have the cross-referencing "Fill out maximum contact references"
option is on. To turn this off right click on your project name and pick
Properties. Under the Cross-referencing section pick the Text button. In the
middle of the dialog, select the option Don't Fill. When the coil is
cross-referenced again these should be gone.

I am not clear on your other problem. Can you provide more detail? I wasn't
able to reproduce it in a quick test. Let me know what version of AcadE you
are using.

One more option that would give you the commas and spaces is the Use Pinlist
order which is found on that same cross-reference dialog. If your project is
set up to use this option it will show these blank spaces for the unused
contacts so it can show the used pins in the proper order. To turn this off,
right click on project, pick Properties. Then pick the Text button in the
Cross-reference area. On the next dialog, select Sort by line reference at
the bottom. OK out of dialogs and then run the cross-reference on the
drawing again.

the sort by line reference option was the problem with spaces and commas, thanks

the problem of reporting the NC contact wrong went away after rebooting

I'm glad that sorting option was it. If that NC contact problem returns post
again and I'll take another look.
