Create a schematic terminal symbol
1 In an AutoCAD Electrical drawing, click the Miscellaneous tool
to access the Symbol Builder tool.
2 Click the Symbol Builder tool.
3 At the command prompt press Enter.
This allows you to create your own symbol rather than modify
an existing symbol.
4 In the Symbol Builder: Choose symbol category dialog box,
Schematic Symbol section, click Terminal - Schematic terminal
(follows wire number).
5 In the Symbol Builder - Schematic Parent or Stand-alone
symbol dialog box, click Rectangle.
6 Draw a square on the drawing.
Add attributes to symbol
1 In the Symbol Builder - Schematic Parent or Stand-alone
symbol dialog box, click Standard.
The Component type: Schematic Terminal dialog box displays
listing the AutoCAD Electrical attributes that you can insert
for the symbol. Once an attribute is inserted on the symbol it
is disabled in the Missing attributes list. AutoCAD Electrical
allows only one insertion of each attribute.
NOTE You cannot create a symbol with the Symbol Builder until
the minimum attribute requirements (TAGSTRIP) are met.
2 Select TAGSTRIP, Height = 0.125 and Justify = Center.
3 Click Insert Attribute.
