You can place an entire terminal strip on a wiring diagram by dragging it to an open drawing from the Electrical Index. In a conventional wiring diagram, it is also possible to place a sub-set of terminals or individual terminals on an open diagram. Drag the required terminals from the List View pane in the Electrical Index and place them on the diagram as needed. Note that you cannot place the same terminal more than once on the same wiring diagram.
