Topic: Simple terminal block symbol question

I have searched and read a bit about the terminal block plugin and watched a few videos, but I'm not understanding how it works. I also don't think it's what I want/need at this point in my projects. I'm drawing a simple motor starter schematic and I plan to use feed-through terminal blocks from
Weidmuller. I've been trying to understand how I can depict these devices in my schematic and wondering if the below drawing is the intended, correct way to do this.

There aren't wire label text objects for each connection which also makes me thing I'm using these wrong or that there is a better way. For example if I had a 4 position terminal block and wanted to label the conductors 1.a, 1.b, 1.c and 1.d I would need to add text objects to the terminal parts and that seems like a warning that I'm using the wrong thing.

I've also seen the terminal strip diagram parts, but these are large (1) compared to the other symbols I'm using (2)
**I made a screen shot to show this but for some reason this site won't let me include more than 1 image which is pretty lame.

**J'ai fait une capture d'écran pour montrer cela, mais pour une raison quelconque, ce site ne me permet pas d'inclure plus d'une image, ce qui est plutôt nul.

C'est étonnant ! Il te faut peu-être re éditer ton post pour ajouter plus de fichiers images?

En fait, j'ai essayé la même chose, mais cela n'autorisait pas non plus de liens supplémentaires lors de l'édition.

J'allais répondre en français (en utilisant un traducteur) mais j'ai réalisé qu'il s'agissait du forum EN, il est donc probablement préférable pour moi de répondre en anglais.

^^Me explaining why I'm switching to English.

Should I take from your reply that I should be using the terminal block generator and not mess around with the parts displayed in my original post? I find the terminal block generator a bit intimidating and I don't understand how I can complete some concepts, for example:

  • How do I indicate that two terminals are bonded? (see below image for example of what I mean)

  • How do I handle multi-level terminals (2x 2-position terminals in one block)
