Terminal block property attributes
The values in the grid are stored as follows, where “nn” represents the level
number and is always stored as two digits (i.e. 01, 02, and so on):
AttributeData
LnnLABELLevel Description (60 characters maximum)
LnnWIREPERCWires Per Connection (3 characters maximum)
LnnPINLPin Left (12 characters maximum)
LnnPINRPin Right (12 characters maximum)
NOTE If thse attributes are not present, the data is placed into Xdata with the
same name, only wth a “VIA_WD_” prefix.
Overview of terminal relationships
AutoCAD Electrical supports two types of relationships for terminals:
schematic-to-schematic and schematic-to-panel.
Schematic-to-Schematic
The schematic-to-schematic relationship defines separate schematic terminal
symbols as one multi-level (also referred to as multi-tier or multi-stack) terminal
block. On the schematic drawing, each schematic terminal symbol represents
one level of the multi-level terminal block.
NOTE Multiple terminal symbols for one level is not currently supported.
The number of levels for the block is defined as a block property. Each level
carries certain characteristics, such as a label, wires per connection, left pin,
and right pin. Each schematic terminal symbol carries all of the block properties
for each level so that removing one terminal symbol does not remove the
