Commandline: ShowBlindPatchTool
This is the Blind Patch tool that allows you to document your patches without knowing the whole circuit. Once the patches (jumpers) are documented you can use the Discover tool to find what is patched to what. If you find a discovered circuit to be complete you can use the Make Circuit command to create a real circuit and remove the Blind Patches from this list.
The form is tabbed. The [Blind Patch] tab (shown above) provides a data entry grid where you can add/edit/delete Blind Patches. The second tab (shown below) is used to Discover/Preview/Make Circuit(s) from your Blind Patches.
