Use the terminal strip editor to insert terminal strips... you can then insert the stops, barriers, etc... and then plunk the entire thing down it will draw a beatutiful terminal strip for you (as long as your footprint lookup is set right).
I have never even tried to use schematic insert for terminals, we use the terminal editor for all terminal functions except inserting them into schematics (via the icon menu for that).
Just use the terminal strip editor... you can insert the strip and a table, jumper chart, what ever...
the more you use it, the more you like it...
reylach,
the footprint lookup database is what drives all panel insertions. you can set this in the footprint database file editor from the panel ribbon tab, other tools... or when you make a new symbol and insert if for the first time you can "add entry to manufacturer" (choice "C, 1." in that window)...
If you are able to insert terminals from a schematic list then you probably have them set up correctly.
raylach,
All my terminals footprints were inserted with the terminal strip editor and they all report correctly in that tool.
I don't normally use that particular tool (insert terminal from schematic list) but I did run it...
I am noticing some oddities with that tool, It is showing that some of my strips that are built correctly have no catalogue data, yet the footprints are inserted (therefore they had to have, and actually do have, catalogue data assigned to them), it also shows multiple listing for certain terminals strips one with catalogue data and one without.
One thing you might try is finding and deleting the scratch projec database then do a project database rebuild, that might (but not always) make things link up correctly.
The other thing yo might try is deleting the terminal footprints and rebuilding them... sometimes that wakes ACE up and makes it start reporting things correctly.. at least until something else breaks them and you have to do that all over again.
Terminals in ACE are flakey, that is all there is to it.
