Terminal magnets are rectangular objects that symbol terminals cling to (hence the term terminal magnet).
They automatically arrange the symbol terminals around its border based on a grid spacing of 0.1 Units.

Each symbol can have one and only one terminal magnet.

The terminal magnet is optional.

Symbols with a Terminal Magnet

 

Symbols with no Terminal Magnet

If the symbol does not have a terminal magnet, then the symbol terminals can be freely placed at any location.

The symbol terminals are usually placed around a graphical object that represents a logical representation of the functionality of the part.
