(I did use an existing Allen-Bradley symbol file (.dwg) as a template, so I had all of the attributes copied over.&nbsp; I saved it in the PANEL/SIEMENS/TRMS-TERMINAL BLOCKS folder. In the Footprint Database Editor, I added a new Table, named "SIEMENS". Within that table I added the&nbsp;8WH1000-0AG00 component, and pointed the catalog database to the aforementioned .dwg file.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>When I go to the Terminal Strip Editor, and try to assign a Catalog Code to the terminals in my schematics, the SIEMENS terminal is nowhere to be found.

I usually use the insert terminal from schematic list the first time if I don't have an assigned footprint, this will prompt you rather than adding a generic terminal, then return to the tse. For some obscure reason the tse won't recognise if you have the base file open</P> Sat, 22 Jun 2024 13:51:23 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-electrical-forum/new-terminal-footprint-from-dwg-to-catalog-browser-in-terminal/m-p/12855243#M2200 james.mcmillanNYR6A 2024-06-22T13:51:23Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-electrical-forum/new-terminal-footprint-from-dwg-to-catalog-browser-in-terminal/m-p/12863846#M2201 <P><SPAN><BR /><BR /></SPAN></P> Tue, 02 Jul 2024 01:12:58 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-electrical-forum/new-terminal-footprint-from-dwg-to-catalog-browser-in-terminal/m-p/12863846#M2201 arshdeepsingh404 2024-07-02T01:12:58Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-electrical-forum/new-terminal-footprint-from-dwg-to-catalog-browser-in-terminal/m-p/12867216#M2202 <P>The Catalog Browser step was missed. Didn't even see there was an option to edit that table. That was the only disconnect, from above.</P> Fri, 28 Jun 2024 14:31:48 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-electrical-forum/new-terminal-footprint-from-dwg-to-catalog-browser-in-terminal/m-p/12867216#M2202 Brock_Christie 2024-06-28T14:31:48Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-electrical-forum/new-terminal-footprint-from-dwg-to-catalog-browser-in-terminal/m-p/12868125#M2203 <P>Glad to hear it's working.</P> Fri, 28 Jun 2024 23:34:57 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-electrical-forum/new-terminal-footprint-from-dwg-to-catalog-browser-in-terminal/m-p/12868125#M2203 arshdeepsingh404 2024-06-28T23:34:57Z
