    Default Quicker insertion of Parent/Child components?

    Are any of you Acad Electrical specialists aware of a way to automate the process of inserting parent /child schematic components whereby once you insert the parent, the program will automatically prompt you for the child to insert? For example, the user inserts a parent control relay coil (HCR1) and by doing that AcadE already knows that a child relay contact (HCR21) will follow and generates a dialog box or list to choose the contact from? That may be asking too much from the out-of-the-box AcadE and may have to be written as VBA or LISP. Anyone ever heard or seen this type of menu automation?

    There is no quick insert for child components. Yes, an automated menu would have to be written. For me it would not work out as the children are on other drawings in the project. This is a neat idea for those safety relays.
