Ran into this problem this morning. Except it is even happening with newly inserted terminals. Checking the XDATA doesn't show anything that appears to be out of line.
Was anything more ever uncovered about this?
I have had similar problems in the past when setting up multi level terminals.
My cause was that the terminals in question had a catalog number that pointed to a single level terminal.
When I used a catalog number that pointed to the appropriate multi level terminal, the problem cleared up.

I'll check that, but I'm pretty sure they all have the same catalog data. And how/why would that affect newly added terminals to the project?
Also, it seems to be project specific. I have rebuilt the scratch database but that didn't help. Pat Murnen has my WDP files for comparison. (Working and not working.) I looked but couldn't see anything significant.
Not only that but you need to check the terminal information itself.
ACADE has a second table to give information on the number of levels a terminal has, the number of wires per connection and so on.
I'm not sure where to access this table from the latest versions of ACADE but it used to be from the Components->Terminals->Terminal Properties Database Editor
If the catalog information does not have a relevent entry in the Terminal Properties database, ACADE seems to treat it as a single level terminal.

As I said, all of the terminals involved were showing the correct catalog data and level information. And even if one of them was corrupt, why would that make new terminals not work?
In the interest of moving forward on this project, I restored all my files back to the morning before this all started. Everything is working as expected now. When I get time I may go back and try to do some forensics on the how and why it happened.
Hi all,
Same problem, no back-up copy :(. Did anyone come out with the origin/answer to the problem please? I'd really appreciate it. See attached file. Just schematics.
Many Thanks,
Jorge Vicente
