Best way to get terminal connectors onto cut list From/To report?

[aherronZB5KQ]

My company's wiring panels use various types of wiring connectors, ring eye terminals, etc. I'm trying to figure out the best way to get these to show on the From/To report. Currently after running my From/To report I am simply adding a column to the report and manually typing in the connectors i.e. 'YELLOW RING TERMINAL 1/4'. I'm afraid this could lead to potential errors since we are trying to get away from manual input. Does AutoCAD Electrical have something that handles this? Maybe something that can integrate the connector into the wire and show on the report?

If you don't use the terminal description (X?TERMDESC??) attributes for something else, you can add these to your symbols, and add the wire termination info there:

Then, you can grab this information in the From/To report, with the PD1/PD2 fields:

Brilliant solution. I ended up doing something similar. I created a custom attribute on the schematic symbol called 'CONNECTOR' and populated it with the connector value. Then I went into the User Defined Attribute List and added the attribute to the list which exports a file that has to be saved into the project folder in order for the CONNECTOR attribute to be added to the report. I believe that's the workflow. Our connectors are static and will pretty much never change so this method seems to work. 

I see your responses on here quite a bit so thanks a ton for your solution. I'm learning the in's and out's of this program and your responses have been very helpful to a beginner like myself.
