How to Run the Command

The Place Junction Boxes at Wirepath Intersections command inserts a Junction Box device at user-designated wirepath intersections. Activate the command in either Automatic or Manual Mode.

To run the command, first highlight the intersecting wire paths, and initiate the command via the Commands Menu/Place Junction Boxes submenu. Next, the Auto - Junction Boxes dialog appears, which is shown in the image to the right.

Choose from two options to place Junction Boxes at either T-Tap intersections or at Every Wire Path intersection. By default, the Every Wire Path intersection option is selected. Users may opt to choose to place junction boxes at T-Tap Interesections Only.

The images below show the intersection before (left) and after (right) the Junction box is placed. For these examples, generic devices are shown, but several types and categories may be available depending on the manufacturer. Note how every intersecting wire path needs to be highlighted (left image) before initiating the command. Double-click the Junction Box to view and/or edit its Properties page.
