Catalog subcomponents not linking to main component

Anonymous

Hi All

I'm having a strange issue with catalog subcomponents. Nearly all of them are working perfectly, except for a couple where the main component is not picking up the subcomponents with the assembylist property matching their assembly codes. I can't see any difference in catalog data between the ones I have created that work and the couple that do not.

 

The ASSYCODE attribute in the symbol is being assigned the correct assemblycode, but when the Catalog Check is used it does not populate any subcomponents. One thing I have noticed is that when this happens the catalog description for the main component does not appear in the Catalog Check

I believe the problem is the '+' in the manufacturer name. Can you try without it?

I changed both parts to remove the plus sign but it still has the same problem. It also happens with a couple of other parts that don't have any special characters.

Update: The issue appears to be with the naming convention of the blocks. Due to the block name not being per the naming convention, ACADE can't determine which catalog table to look at to pull in the subcomponent data. I renamed the block per the convention and it is now working.
