Adding wire connections
If an X?TERMxx of the component (for example, "X2TERM01") wire
connection-point attribute lies within the small trap distance of the end of a
wire, then AutoCAD Electrical interprets the component connected to the
wire. The only time the trap distance changes is when you change the Feature
Scale Multiplier in the Drawing (or Project) Properties Drawing Format
dialog box.
NOTE Components with closely spaced wire connection points may not be
processed properly if the connection points fall within the AutoCAD Electrical trap
distance of one another.
A wire connection attribute can have a related terminal text attribute, TERMxx,
and terminal description attribute, TERMDESCxx. The "xx" is a two-digit
number (starting at 01) that is used to match up with the corresponding
X?TERMxx wire connection attribute.
Insert connection points
1 In the Symbol Builder Attribute Editor, expand the Wire Connection
section.
2 In the Direction / Style list, select Others.
3 On the Insert Wire Connection dialog box select Terminal Style: Screw.
This terminal style inserts both the graphic to represent the screw and
the wire connection points.
4 Check Use this configuration as default. It directs Symbol Builder to use
the current Terminal Style and Scale as the default in the Symbol Builder
Attribute Editor.
