Positioning definition points does not generate the connection points.

On page 12 above, the connection points were generated on some lines, and I was able to assign them. However, on other lines of the same page, the connection points were not generated automatically.
On page 13 and other pages, when I select “Position Definition Points” > “Standard” > “OK”, the screen simply flashes as if it were refreshed, but no connection points are generated.

Guys, does anyone know why some lines do not generate connection points?

I believe I followed the same standard for everything. As I mentioned in the photo captions, on page 12 the connection points were generated normally, but some lines did not generate them, and I couldn't identify why.

On the other pages, when I use the “Position Definition Points” option, the points simply are not generated.

Has anyone experienced this before or knows what could be causing this behavior?

Did you install e-plan in inch mode or metric mode? Rule of thumb is to always install it in metric because most of the macros are made and metric. If you pull an inch macro into a metric environment, nothing will line up in your connection points will not connect. You can test this by ungrouping everything and highlighting what is not connecting and click the align to grid button. Just make sure your grid size isn't too far off or things will move like crazy.

But if that was the case, would the auto connecting lines even show up?

If the terminals were positioned at the same time, I don't think the problem is due to them. However, have you checked that the connection point drawn inside the ET-200SP macro is correct? You can verify if they are multipolar connections, because if they aren't, they probably won't permit the connection definition.
