Different symbol within the same package - OrCAD Capture

I'm making a symbol for a quad opamp and trying to show the power and ground pins on package A and no power pins on on packages B,C,and D. Is it possible to have different looking symbols within the same package? Another example would be an optocoupler symbol. I would like for package A to be a diode and package B be a transistor. I'm using OrCAD Capture 16.2.0 Thanks in advance, Roy

When creating the part, set the Package Type to Heterogeneous and the Parts per Pkg to more than one. A Heterogeneous part will have different graphics for each section, whereas a Homogeneous part will have the same graphics for all sections.

Making an op-amp package heterogeneous rather than homogenous should work, but you will lose the ability to gate swap during layout.
