Allegro multigate, multi section parts

Hi Group,

I'm trying to make a multi section part, and I can do it with this exception.  In my part, I want the FIRST symbol to be the entire part, say the 4 gates and all the pins.  The other 4 symbols each individual gate.

Part developer complains that the first section does not have unique pins (it does not, it contains all the pins that are in the other 4 sections).

Why is this an error - why can't we have something similar to the Orcad hetro parts, where one schematic symbol can represent the entire part, and the remaining represent subsets of the pins?

We would like to do this with our relays.  We want to have the coils on one page and the contacts on another.  We dont want to have to create 2 separate parts; one for the entire part and one for the fractured one.

    The way to define this is to use mulitple symbols. Have a look at the attached symbol. In Part Developer the symbols have sym_1, sym_2.
