AutoCAD Electrical terminals follow a specific naming conven-
tion. The first two characters are "HT". The third character is
a "0" if the wire number does not change through its terminal
or it is a "1" if the terminal symbol should trigger a wire num-
ber change. The 4th character is an underscore (_) if the ter-
minal does not carry attributes for AutoCAD Electrical to pro-
cess (meaning it is a blank terminal symbol). Otherwise the
4th - nth character positions are user-defined. By clicking No
Wire Change the terminal block name is filled in for you.
