Owen,
I can't think of an easy way to get the brackets around the entire text
value as you show. If you define your cross-reference format as [%N] then
you would get brackets around each reference, [H4,[G7], [S12]. Everything
else you describe is done with the Text style cross-referencing rather than
the graphic style. If you want all the references on one attribute instead
of separate NO and NC references, you need to have just one XREF attribute
on the parent symbol rather than 2 separate attributes, XREFNO and XREFNC.
If you are using AcadE 2007, the Text style cross-referencing is selected
under Drawing Properties, Cross-Referencing tab.

Gday,
On the same note, the standards for my clients is that rather than having a
graphic for each contact, the contacts are listed inside brackets, with NC
contact references underlined, and pins not shown... ie:
[H4, %%UG7%%U, S12]
where the referencing is X-Y grid style, and %%U is the usual ACAD code for
underlining. Is there anywhere that I can hack into the files which do the
code for this, and change it all about. The whole graphic symbol thing just
clutters the drawings too much in my industry, but the references are
essential.
For reference I am using ACADE 2006 with Australian Standard symbol
libraries (IEC based)
Cheers, Owen
