Terminal strip editor doesn't show correct quantity of terminals and wires

[Anonymous]

Benchmark data:

1. AutoCAD Electrical 2010.

2. Single level terminals with one wire per connection used

3. Terminal strip XT3 with 5 terminals

4. Please see picture with drawing and terminal strip editor attached.

Problems:

1. Terminal strip editor (TSE) doesn't show all wires connected to terminal. Please see picture attached.

2. TSE doesn't create extra terminal for wire #1. should be 2 pc and 4 connections

3.  for wire #2 should be 3 terminals and 5 connections. But only 2 terminals and 3 connections exist.

4. For wire #2A should be 2 terminals and 3 connections. But only 1 terminal and 2 connection exist.

As I remember first time TSE has created correct quantity of terminals and connections, but after some changes I can not return it back.

Thank you

By default, ACADE will daisy chain the connections although it will on occasion set components to connect directly to the terminal. What this means is that with Terminal 1, wire 1 is going to the CB (1QF3) and then going to the relay (1K1) on one side and the other is going from the UPS to the Fan to the terminal. This is why you are only seeing the one wire at each connection on the terminal. Where as with terminal two, it has set the 1VR and 1K1 to connect directly to the terminal while the other side has the wire going from the UPS to the Fan to the terminal. This is why the TSEhas added a second terminal and jumpered them. Terminal 3 isn't shown on your screenshot. Terminal 4 has the UPS and 1G1 connected directly to the terminal with 1K2 connecting to one of the other components on that side. Terminal 5 has no 1G1 connecting to the terminal and 1K2 and 1Z connecting to the 1G1. You will need to go to the Wire Sequence tool to fix the sequences to what you require. From your comment, you want all components to go direct to the terminal with both sides of the terminal used before the TSE adds an additional terminal. Take a read of this thread which has a very similar query to your own... https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-electrical-forum/terminal-strip-help/m-p/7904399#M56751 It includes a short description on how to set up the Direct to terminal sequences.
