Flip Component Not Working?

I am creating a drawing schematic and am having diffuculties trying to get the layout correct. I placed 3 current transformer icons, but I want them to flip so the double loop is on the bottom side of the wire. I click the component, Right Click, select Flip/Reverse Component, and nothing happens, a message appear stating that "unable to process: too many wire connections"

 

I am quite new to AutoCAD, but the drawing so far is very basic, I am not understanding why it is not working. Thanks!

 

Here is screen shot of drawing:

I just spoke with out electrician, I was putting the terminals on the wrong wire, I simply rotated the component, positioned, then added my wires. Not sure if method was best, but it worked out.

I am getting this same error on most symbols. I'd like to know why this is happening. I'd consider myself an advanced user. I've trimmed any wires that were connected to the component and tried again and it still will not work.

Welp nevermind. I just looked at the help file and it says that it only works with two-wire components. What a bummer!
