Parametric Twisted Pair symbols
DescriptionAttribute
Pair of invisible wire connection attributes where the wires
connect. Connection is made to the origin point of each
X?TERM01
attribute. The "?" character position in each attribute name
identifies the wire connection direction:
1: wire connects to the attribute from the right
2: wire connects to the attribute from above
4: wire connects to the attribute from the left
8: wire connects to the attribute from below
Visible attribute, small, single character value (a ".") that
must remain visible and must be placed at the exact inser-
X?_TINY_DOT_DONT_REMOVE
tion location of each of the XnTERM01 attributes. This at-
tribute is needed to allow the gap to auto-adjust to text
width and to maintain connectivity through the symbol if
the in-line label or wire number text is blanked or grows
small compared to the total gap width in the wire.
Invisible attribute that carries the vertex offset distance
measured from the midpoint of the symbol's two wire
ACE_OFFSET
connection points. A positive value extends the twist
through the gap. A negative value (default) decreases the
height of the twist. A value of 0.0 makes the twist come
up to the wire-gap midpoint.
To change the height of the twist, open the symbol draw-
ing file and edit this attribute definition. The next time you
insert a twisted pair symbol into a new drawing, the twisted
part takes on the new value.
Invisible attribute set to a value of 3 to identify a twisted
pair symbol (1 character maximum).

AutoCAD Electrical puts the tag name of the component on this attribute,
