Port Priority

Im trying to use a custom part that has three ports. One THDM and two THDF.  When I go to insert I would like for the Male port to be the insert port.  As i have it now it snaps to the THDF and I get an error that it can not match THDF to THDF.  No crap, thats why i want to use the THDM port.  Can anyone help with this?

when inserting the parts, you switch by pressing CTRL the port.

Also when you run the plantpartconvert command the first port you add becomes the insertion port. I would start back at the block (just AutoCAD block with no ports assigned), run the plantpartconvert>add, choose the THDM port first, than add the other to ports, exit, bring the block back into the custom parts editor or catalog, then get it back into the model and you should be inserting based off the first port you choose durning the plantpartconvert command. The order you put ports on decides which is Port 1 (insertion port), port 2, port 3, etc.
