Send Devices to Top                            

 

In the Actions menu, the command Send Devices to Top will move AlarmCAD for AutoCAD appliance(s) to the front (or top) of all other entities in the drawing.

To run the command, access AlarmCAD for AutoCAD's Actions menu, and choose Send Devices to Top. Users do not need to highlight any wire paths or devices in order for the command to execute. "Send Devices to Top" automatically searches for AlarmCAD for AutoCAD appliances in the current drawing, then moves them in front (or top) of other entities.

In the top left image, note how the aqua-colored wire paths run on top of the Junction Box. In the bottom image, after the command is run, the Junction Box moves above the two wire paths.

PLEASE NOTE: No user-input is needed after initiating the command, and no progress message appears after running the command. Send Devices to Top is most noticeable when moving AlarmCAD for AutoCAD's Junction Boxes to the front (or top) of other entities.
