    Default Parent/Child Full Unit PLC Symbols

    I'm trying to create a symbol for a fairly complex servo drive that has i/o on it. I would like to make it a plcio symbol so that when I "ae edit" it the i/o descriptions are available. I need to split the symbol into two parts to fit on the drawing and would like it to behave like a parametric plc symbol that is broken into two parts (parent/child). I'm not understanding/seeing what would make the child plcio symbol a child. When I look at the blocks created by breaking a parametric symbol, they are named randomly. The only real link I can see is TAG attribute on parent and TAG_1 on child. I tried that convention on my full blocks and it doesn't seem to produce the desired result. Is there something else I need to do?
