I am trying to find the proper way to show terminal blocks in the drawing. I use the same terminal block sometimes in more then 1 location, but cant seem to get them to fully associate in the terminal strip editer. So when I build the graphic detail, it comes up as 2 distinct terminal blocks. Here are pdfs of what is happening and what I am after.
Thanks!

The proper way, according to how ACADE works, is to only show the terminal once in your schematic. But I have seen a lot of people wanting to do it the way you are. What you'll need to do is have the second wire leaving the terminal going to K1201 or into a signal source, then go from the paired signal destination into K1201. (See attached sketch.)
Hope this helps.
Also, you can create your own destination signal symbol, that looks like a terminal.
You can supress the cross reference attributes and have attributes to display the terminal tag and number.
