Entrelec terminal footprints are upside down when inserted at 90 degrees

[dougmcalexander]

Just FYI for anyone using Entrelec terminal blocks.  The footprints that are included with AutoCAD Electrical are rotated 180 degress in the wrong direction.  When you insert at a 90 degree angle for a horizontal DIN rail, you will notice that the screwdriver slot for removing the terminal is on the top.  Try inserting an M4-6 and you will see what I mean.  Even the End Stop is upside down.  I edited the Entrelec blocks I use and rotated them so they look correct now.  But there are many more to do.

Hello Doug,

It is something that you are talking about which is already there and observed now ? Will investigate the case. However rotate feature during panel footprint doesnt help ? Just a query !

Hi Mayuresh,

The Entrelec blocks have been rotated incorrectly ever since they were added. The content developers received the drawings from Entrelec and when they rotated then horizontally so they wold work with TSE, they rotated them the wrong direction.  They are all upside down.  I have open the blocks I use and rotated them so they look correct, but it really should be fixed. I use these blocks for training and everywhere I go I have to replace the customer's block so their strips look correct.

I shall have a look at it and take appropriate action. Thanks for reporting.
