How create new schematic for resistor Pspice AA enabled?

Sorry guys,

newcomer here - and been banging my head to do this seemingly basic thing

I am trying to create new symbols in my personal library to perform AA simulation on resistors and at the same time specify secific parameters for that kind of device (example: chip resistors on different sizes - like 0603 0805 and so on- each with their power rating etc.

What I tried is saving a copy of  the R symbol from the ANALOG.OLG library, which is AA enabled, and renaming it to, say R_0603.

It looks like once I rename it, AA does not show the simulated component.

I think it has to do with the PspiceTemplate property value, which I read being 

R^@REFDES %1 %2 ?TOLERANCE|R^@REFDES| @VALUE TC=@TC1,@TC2 ?TOLERANCE|\n.model R^@REFDES RES R=1 DEV=@TOLERANCE% TC1=@TC1 TC2=@TC2|

I have worked out a broad understanding of this but looks like there is no reference to the schematic name - am I wrong? basically here if TOLERANCE is defined a inline  .MODEL is generated for a resistor with its tolerance and coefficients. I think it should work regardless the name of the schematic. So the problem must not be there.

Where else should I look or try?
Or is there an alternative to create sumbols simuylating resistors and being AA enable? I tried creating a .MODEL for a resistor, but I did not manage to get it work.

Or is there a way to understand why AA does not load simulation data for these custom created schematics?
Really appreciate your patience

EDIT: posted also on the Pspice forum (https://www.pspice.com/how-create-aa-enableb-new-symbols-library) as I was not sure if it was an active forum, I also posted here

    I meant AA enabled, please read my post through
