I'm trying to place a custom schematic component. The drawing is blank. What the heck is going on.

I'm sorry, I don't understand that error message at all.
Your schematic module component doesn't have a clearly prefix, you need to chagne it to SW1, not SW?

@pretender42,
As already pointed out, you have created a Schematic Module and not a Schematic Symbol so it will renumber according to the Schematic Module rules. It will renumber using the ? suffix only if you create a Schematic Symbol.
Suggest you re-read the Tutorial to understand how to create Schematic Symbols and to understand the difference between Schematic Module and Schematic Symbol.
@pretender42,
Because you have created a Schematic Module, when you place your relay into a Schematic you will not get the automatic PCB Footprint assignment that will pull in an appriopriate Footprint into the PCB when you do Convert to PCB... as you would for a Schematic Symbol.
Reading (2.2) and (2.3) in (2) in:

will help you better understand the relevance and relationship between Schematic Symbols and PCB Footprints.
