I see what you mean...
To fix, I used the AEMARKTERMINT & AEMARKTERMEXT commands to mark the Internal and External sides of the terminals in your dwg and had no problems in the TSE. You should be able to find these in the ribbon somewhere.
These commands mark the INTernal and EXTternal connections on a terminal. This is then picked up by the TSE and used when it builds it's table.
The Internal and External of the terminal can change according to panel location, however the TSE always places the Internal on the left and the External on the right, so keep that in mind. You may have to mark an actual Internal side as the External to allow the proper connections to show up in the TSE.
In this case, it wasn't a problem but another cause could be the wire sequencing. ACADE uses one method of doing the wire sequencing and the TSE uses a totally different method. and they have problems meshing together. For example, you set a wire sequence in the schematic, insert the terminal strip using the TSE and the client requests a change to the wire sequence which requires a rebuild of the terminal strip. The TSE will read an existing TSE wire sequence first and then ignore any other wire sequences on the wire network. This then leads to hair pulling and frustration. I've lost count of the number of times, I've had to delete a terminal strip, clear a wire sequence then redo them.
