Bend Wires in AutoCAD Electrical 2007

AutoCAD Electrical came out with a nice enhancement tool in 2007, called bend wires. The tool is design to redirect a wire. Sometime we have wires overlapping each other and we would like to redirect it; with the bend wire tool you can, see picture below.

Bend wire is under the wire toolbar. You must select 2 wires on the same network (In other word it must be the same wire). You select the wire before the wire gaps, hence you need 2 selections, and it will bend the wire, as seen on picture above. The selection can be done anywhere but base on the picture above we must select before the wire gap.

Bend it like ACADe,
