To place an EOL (End of Line) Resistor at a circuit's end, the Automatic Connection mode must be turned on.
If Manual connection mode is still turned on when initiating the command, the Auto Mode notification dialog appears: "To add EOL Resistors, Settings > Design Standards > Guidelines > Mode must be set to 'Auto'. Would you like to make this change now?" Users must select Yes to continue running this command.

Prior to initiating the command,
the last appliance in the path must be highlighted along with its circuit
path in the line. After
accessing the command within the Command Menu/ Place EOL's at Circuit
Ends Submenu, the Automatic EOL Resistor
Insertion dialog appears (see image to the right). Enter the desired
Wire Path Display Length and Wire Path Override Length to attach
the EOL Resistor.

Please Note: If
the last appliance and its circuit path are not highlighted, the warning
on the left appears If this warning appears, highlight the last appliance
and its circuit path, and start the command again.

Please note the example image before (top right image),
when the appliance and its circuit are highlighted, and after (bottom
right image) the command is run. The new default EOL Device is a generic
4.7K ohm resistor, but its properties can be modified as needed by double-clicking
its symbol. When finished, the EOL Device's label will show its connected
circuit as part of its address.
Depending on the direction in which the last circuit path was heading, the newly-added wire path will run in that same direction.
