display sink and source of wire on block diagram

A colleague is trying to decipher some LV code we received from a third party, and if ever a block diagram illustrated the term "spaghetti-code" this does. I showed him how the wiring tool will display the name of the source of a wire in the help window, when you hover the tool over the wire in question. He asked if there was a way to display both the source and the sink (yes the code really is that bad). Any ideas?

Oh, I should mention that he really doesn't want to rewrite or modify the code in any way, just understand it.

Thanks.

Hmm.  If you can I dont know of one.  I'm a cheap engineer though Smiley Very Happy and dont like extra window clutter if I can avoid it.  When I am (usually) faced with spaghetti-code and need to trace things I just tripple click on wires to highlight the whole thing and scroll the window around to find the starting and ending points...

If you want some truly horrific examples of what gives LV a bad name, have a look in this thread.
