HOW TO CREATE CUSTOM TERMINAL BLOCK AUTOCAD 2026

[Robertojoa21]

HELLO GUYS.

I would like to know how to create a custom terminal block.

I tried following the instructions on this website:  https://blog.hagerman.com/2014/02/04/multi-pole-multi-level-terminal-blocks/ 
but the terminal block is not showing up in the Terminal Strip Editor.

Hello @Robertojoa21 

Can you please provide more information on which part doesn't work?

Did you map the catalog to the footprint .dwg file using the footprint database editor?

Can you post a screenshot of the Footprint Lookup Table where you added the entry for KN-T12?

Hi @Robertojoa21 

Here is a full video guide on how to add a custom terminal footprint. I have also attached the footprint for KN-T12 that I used in the video.

Let me know if this works or if you have any questions.
