CAD parts not auto associating with WT Part

We work with a lot of family tables and I'm trying to improve the process. When we create parts, we use the new document command and it creates both the WTpart and CAD document with the same/proper names. When checking in a family table, it generates  a bunch of WTparts with a 0000000XXXX numbering scheme for each family member. The issue is the filename is also generic_filename.prt, so I can't distinguish what the file goes to without a lot of clicking.

Am i missing part of the workflow to generate the proper names with family tables?

Even with autoassociate checked, I cannot batch create WTParts using the importable spreadsheets because it still generates new WTparts.
