AutoCAD Electrical can automatically track how many contacts have been
assigned to a device like a relay or timer coil. When a newly inserted contact
exceeds a predefined limit, AutoCAD Electrical can alert you. AutoCAD
Electrical can also track available terminal pin number pairs as you insert each
new contact and automatically give you the next available pair as a default.
To enable this feature, maximum contact count and pin number pair
information is assigned to the parent symbol (ex: relay or timer coil symbol).
It is carried as Xdata under the name "WD_PINLIST" or, if a PINLIST attribute
is present on the parent device, the pin list is carried on this invisible attribute.
A copy of this pin list data is carried in the project's Access database file
