Problem with terminal numbers

[Srinkoo]

Hello Everyone,

I am new to Autocad Electrical and to this forum. I need small help from you all.
I am using Square with Terminal Number(HTC0001). I am trying to insert number in this square. Can I do it? If yes, How? If no, can you tell me is there any way that I can insert number in that terminal.

Thanks in advance

Don't you have the option to assign a number in the Insert/Edit Terminal Symbol dialog box where it says "Number"?

[Srinkoo]

Yes I did, but I want that number to be displayed inside the square terminal but not outside of it.

Did you select the wrong symbol? Square with Wire Number has the number above the top of the square.

No Remark. I selected square with terminal number (block: HTC001)

I think you will need to modify the original block to either relocate the attribute ReMark indicated or add a new attribute of your own.

Probably the easiest way is to open the block definition using BEDIT and move the attribute. Exit the block editor, saving changes then ATTSYNC the block. If this is to be used in all future uses of the block you should then WBLOCK it out to the symbol library. If it is only for this drawing set you can use Design Centre to pull in the new definition from the modified sheet.

Do I need to edit any other settings

and for the record, HTC0001 displays the number outside the square here too but as the text is the same height as the square it would make no sense to put it inside

What other settings would have to be edited? All you would be doing is moving the location of the attribute wouldn't you?
