Avoid hidden wires when a tunnel is dragged to another border

Status: New

Re-opening because LabVIEW NXG has been discontinued.

If You drag a tunnel of a loop, case structure or any other structure along the border over a corner, then

the connected wire becomes hidden behind the frame.

 

Sometimes, the wire looks alike it is connected to another wire instead - like in the example below.

I fell into that trap, because I've just seen the frame to the right and didn't expect, that the wire was

connected to the tunnel near the bottom.

Wouldn't it be great to break up the wire with a 90° corner and place it in the visible area?

Why can't LabVIEW just prevent you from putting objects or wires beneath structures? I never understood why LabVIEW allows this.

Available in LabVIEW NXG. When you move the tunnel from the top/bottom border of a structure to one of the sides, the resulting wires (both inside and outside the structure) are branched near the structure border so their vertical segments are no longer hidden under the structure borders.
