You can edit terminals (Jacks, Terminals, Pointers) to show hidden attributes. 

There are several rules that you must adhere to in order to be successful. A breif outline of the rules follows with more detail in the article below:

  1. Terminals that the program uses will reside in the %BLOCKS% support path.
  2. You may only edit terminals with the WC3_xxx_yy.DWG naming convetion. These are terminals that have the editable attribute set.
  3. You must not delete any attribute that you wish not shown. Rather you should mark it as invisible by setting its InvisibleMode=true.
  4. You should rename your edited versions of the file following the required naming convention.


File Naming Convention

Terminal file name suffixes determine where the terminal is displayed in the application. 

Terminals that are suffixed: _SD.dwg or _S.dwg will appear in the list of source terminals.

Terminals that are suffixed _SD.dwg or _D.dwg will appear in the list of destination terminals.

If a terminal has only a CP_IN attribute it should be suffixed _D.dwg. This will tell the program to put it in the terminal desitinations list.

if a terminal has only a CP_OUT attribute it should be suffixed _S.dwg. This will tell the program to put it in the terminal sources list.
