PLC Database Editor

When inserting a 1794-IB16 module, I've noticed that the text height on terminal C34, +24V, is .125 with a width factor of .08. The text height on terminal B16, COM, is .08 with a width factor of .09. Also when finished placing the module in a drawing, the catalog number is moved over to the right and not lined up with other attributes atop the module.
What and where is the file that lets you manipulate attribute location and text size for this?

Make it easy on yourself and just move and change the width of your attributes with the attribute tool bar in AutoCAD Electrical.

If you want to play with these attributes and fix the problem once and for all. I've been going to Components -> Insert PLC Modules -> PLC File Editor. Look for the module you're dealing with and highlight it. Now pay attention to terminal type and click settings in the lower right hand corner. Select the proper graphics style and all of the block names for the terminal types are listed. Match the block name to the terminal type you need, and hunt it down in your schematic library to modify it. Just be careful though. It may be used on more modules than the one your working on. You can create new terminal types too to use in your parametric i/o modules.
