Listing Connector Pin Terminals on Device Table

Hello,

I am trying to export a cable drawing with connectors that have specified connector pin terminals. The export goes to an add-on database software that connects to E3. A picture of the cable I have made is shown below:

I created two types of pins that can be used by the connector shown (testterminal3 and testterminal4). The connector pin terminals are specified in the "Valid Fitting Part" attribute in the pin properties as follows:

The connectors seem to auto-assign the pins properly when I choose the gauge of the wire. When I export a BOM under Tools>Reports>Excel>Bill of Materials, the BOM shows the connector pin terminals appearing:

However, when I try to export the BOM using an add-on database software, the pin terminals don't show up. I believe this is because the add-on software I am using only exports a BOM based on the devices which exist in the device table. I was wondering if there is a way to get the connector pin terminals which are used by the connectors to show up in the device table. I am thinking the connector pin terminals should be listed under the connectors in the device table here:

Or, if an alternate solution exists to exporting the proper BOM with add-ons, some direction would be much appreciated. Thank you very much!

  The Info column of the Device Tree (in he tree control) can be configured to display the pin terminal, the device tree does "know" what the active pin terminal is.

   

  Is your Addon software supported by Zuken?
