Define new Symbol - 2 Pole Circuit Breaker - NFPA

I am new to AutoCad Electrical and what seems like a trivial issue has held me up for a couple days trying to figure out how I can use the NFPA 3 pole circuit breaker as a starting point for a 2 pole circuit breaker. 

 

I have modified the symbol and saved it but when I go to apply it, It will not prompt for the direction of the other pole to be inserted and it will not conform to the wire spacing I have on the drawing.. 

 

any links to videos or support would be greatly appreciated

Found a blog post that goes over adding a command to create a circuit breaker with whatever number of poles you need.
