Link components without errors

I cannot link components AutoCAD Electrical and Inventor without errors.

Components Inventor have C0 in the "Category" field.

I added C0 for the "Family" attribute, but that did not help.

What can I do to make the components X1, X2 and X3 link to without errors?

Try adding a WDBLKNAM attribute with the value set to C0 (C zero, not CO).  The table for connectors is named C0.  Connector symbol blocks that are named with the letters CN, such as HCN1PJ, force a wire number change. These blocks are still connectors but they need a WDBLKNAM attribute with a value of C0 in order to redirect the Lookup to the correct table.  Do not change the default value of the FAMILY attribute.  The FAMILY attribute is used to prevent us from trying to link the wrong child with a parent, or the wrong parent with a child.  It has no bearing on the part number assignment.

The attribute WDBLKNAM gets the value of HCO for the parametric connector.

Link of the components happened miraculously.

I did not understand how it happened.
