Terminals are not inserting the same.

I'm using AutoCAD Electrical 2014. I'm having the same problem with older versions. I'm using a template from another company that they created. My terminals are not inserting alike. when I insert a terminal into a drawing, the first terminal in line is always inserted correctly the way I want. The next terminal in line is smaller, with attributes moved to different places than the first terminal. I've tried everything I know to try & fix this. Can someone please advise me on how to fix this problem.

Are you positive that the blocks are the same?  VT0001 is used by ACE when you insert a terminal on a vertical bus/wire and HT0001 on a horizontal wire/bus.

The terminals on the left are vertical symbols (VT0001) and the terminals on the right are horizontal symbols (HT0001).  Modify the horizontal symbol to match the vertical symbol.

I just copied the first terminal.

I've never had this problem before. In other versions of CAD & other drawings, all I had to do was copy the component. All I did with this drawing was copy the coponent over. Would you tell me how to I change what you were talking about?

When you insert a symbol on a vertical wire it uses the vertical symbol when you insert it on a horizontal wire it uses the horizontal symbol.  Look in the properties to find the block name.

Do a Swap/Update Block on the horizontal terminals. You should have the correct HT0001 in your library. It seems that the drawing you were given has a modified version of the HT0001 block.Swap-Update Block.png

Thank you so much! That fixed my problem! I needed all of my terminals to look the same. I appreciate your help!
