crelf Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 If I set a VI to be a merge VI using "Place VI Contents" (when I drop it onto the BD of another VI it's contents are pasted), decorations and free labels on the FP don't get pasted. It looks like ones on the DB are okay, but not the FP. I'm creating some templates for a reuse library, and I've write a few comments on the FP with arrows to elements, but they don't persist.

crelf Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I spoke too soon - they are there, but not where they should be. They're off screen, so I need to scroll down to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kring Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hi crelf, This is a known issue and a LabVIEW bug. You should be able to affect the relative drop locations by changing the positions of the front panel items in the merge VI (relative to the FP origin and offset). I don't have this problem fully characterized. It did affect us (JKI) when we were laying out the FP items for the JKI State Machine. I think that we "fixed" it through some trial and error. I'm not sure if an official LabVIEW bug has been reported, but we do have a JKI issue tracking number for it: Known Issue (Case 6611): Front panel objects get repositioned when dropping merge VIs from the palettes I'll file it with NI and post back info (and hopefully a CAR # from NI). Thanks, -Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Kring Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Awesome - thanks Jim! Sure. Anything to help my favorite VIPM user. PS - Did I mention that I use VIPM a lot and need this feature working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crelf Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Sure. Anything to help my favorite VIPM user. Awww - now you're embarrassing me PS - Did I mention that I use VIPM a lot and need this feature working? Me too One of the great things about reuse is the ability to create templates - not being able to appropriate comment them makes it a real pain...
