Is there a good way to insert an offset terminal blocks on the panel drawing? I am currently building the terminal strip with one block and the swapping it out for another. I have attached images of correctly spaced terminals that were manually swapped out. There is also an image of hoe TSE placed the terminals. Is there some type of offset that can be added to the block?
It doesn't look like the files you tried to attach made it. Can you zip them up and try again? Also can you include the actual block that you want it to use but it is not spacing them appropriately? This is not my area of expertise but I will try and find out how TSE determines how much space is needed for each terminal. Without the images I am assuming that TSE is overlapping them or spacing them too far apart?
Forgot to add the attachments. Yes they are being spaced too far apart. I have attached a PDF with both images. Page 1 shows the corrected terminal strip. Page 2 is how TSE inserts them. My current work around is to have the TSE insert the UKKB 5 footprint. I then swap in the UKKB 5 Offset footprint later. If I don't do this the terminals will be spaced out.
Thanks

I am trying to verify this since TSE is not my area of expertise but my guess is that TSE looks at the actual graphics on the symbol and uses the outer boundaries to determine where to place the next symbol. And since the terminals are not rectangles it is causing this spacing because with this shape it is like overlapping them but TSE will not do that.. I will check to see if there is a way around this.
Has there been anything further on a solution to offset terminal blocks using TSE?
I apologize for not confirming my suspicions. TSE uses the outer boundaries of the terminal making sure it doesn't overlap anything. So in the case of these non-rectangular terminals, TSE places them so the outer boundaries meet.
I do not know of any way around this placement.
