Making Power Distribution Block Symbol

[hhoang]

Hi All,

I've created a symbol for a power distribution block with 1 in and 4 out. My question is how do I make the wire all the same potential when I insert the wires?

TIA!

Welcome!!

Xdata; inserting wire cuts to be added in correct orientation; 1,2,4,8
Did you make the symbol from scratch? Did you use the Symbol Builder (Components menu, select Symbol Library > Symbol Builder) Did you copy a similar symbol and just modify it?
When the symbol needs to brake a wire, there is an xdata tag name with ending that indicate as to the direction, using 1 for right, 2 for top, 8 for bottom, and 4 for left [X#TERM??].

“Wire connection: Inserts wire connection points. For each wire connection point you need, select the desired wire connection direction and then place the point on your new symbol.” From AutoCAD Electrical Help

Here are three examples.
I hope this is what you were looking for.
