Terminal block sequential tagging (IEC)

[Anonymous]

In ACE 2006 i was doing a fence insert using terminal blocks in IEC standard
and the sequential tags don't seem to work. I tried it on other devices they
seem to work. see attached screenshot.

Btw it seems to works fine if I use JIC.

Richard,

When in IEC mode and inserting terminals using the fence, do not toggle off
the option ''Show edit dialog after each' from the 'Keep?' dialog. On IEC
prints to get the terminal number to increment from terminal to terminal,
this dialog must come up for each terminal.

Here's more info on this issue... it only happens when terminals are
inserted into vertical wires. If you don't want to deal with the edit dialog
popping up with each terminal, here is an "ugly" workaround... delete the
vertical terminal symbols from your symbol library (ex: vt0001.dwg through
vt0005.dwg). AcadE will use the horizontal version of the terminals
(assuming new dwg or vertical terms removed and purged from an old dwg) but
rotate them 90 degrees on insert. Your text will be rotated but the
terminals should auto-increment as they did in 2005.
