PLC Component Report with Connectors

[nathan.averett]

I have drawn a set of schematics that are showing an m12 cable connected to an IP67 I/O block. I have used the child PLC block to represent the IO point. I have included the M12 connectors on the cable because we typically use field wireable connectors and I want to show them so they are included on the BOM. When I run a PLC component report I get the PJ connector component in the report and not the photo-eye the I want to see in the report. Is there any way to make this ignore the PJ and CBL markers in the report? Is there a better way to show this IO point connection?

There's no way to make AcadE read "through" the connector.
Can you put the part number for the connectors as a multi-cat on the cable symbols, and draw some "dummy" connectors in the schematics?

Yea, that's what I thought I would need to do. Thanks for clarifying that ACADE doesn't support this.
