I have created a custom component that is a one pole disconnect with an auxiliary contact. I know normally you just use a parent child relationship between the disconnect and an aux but the existing way the company I work at wants the contact to be displayed similar to a 4 pole device where the 3 main contacts are on the 480V bus and the aux is shown with a to arrow. I created a custom symbol and called it:
VDS12_1PDiscAux
This was created using the symbol builder and I have not messed with the name as I know the naming conventions really need to be followed. This symbol appears to be a vertical two pole device. I then intended to make a second one with the same name as the child that would be used with it.
When I add VDS12_1PDiscAux to the symbol library it inserts just fine. As soon as I try to use the command:
WD_3UNIT VDS12_1PDiscAux
I get an issue. When I attempt to use this it tells me it can not find the symbol:
WD_3UNIT HDS12_1PDiscAux
Which is true, I did not create a horizontal version. I did attempt to make a copy of VDS12_1PDiscAux and then rename it HDS12_1PDiscAux and it finds it, even with no changes to my command. But that brings in the issue that it wants to expand up or down. Nothing I do can get it to expand left/right. I tried rebooting my computer, I remade a whole new part with a different name from scratch. Nothing seems to work, it always seems to get caught up looking for HDS12_1PDiscAux. It is really weird and I can not figure out what to do.
Note:
When I tried to make a part named "VDS12_001" it faults saying it can not find "HDS12_001" as if it can not understand the existence of a vertical disconnect.
