How do you Ctrl+U?

[JÞB]

This thread really belongs on the LabVIEW board but is posted here for two reasons:

1) OK the heavy hitters know this board and are more interested in the subject

2) the thread won't drop off the bottom quite so quick here

I'll make it up by linking to the thread on LabVIEW after some responses show up

Simple rules a vi found here

 is just about impossible to read

1 open it

2 open the BD

3 Cleanup BD

4 post snippet post BDCU settings from options

Jeff,

What are you looking for?

And this is how I would clean it up manually after BDCU (not including any programming changes):

Thanks Lynn,  I'm just looking to Tweak to my LabVIEW ini file for "Best looking" Raw BD Clean-up.

Oddly enough, when I was using the Code Capture Tool to make the snippet I used the "Clean up BD" button, it produced the following snippet.  Pressing ctrl-U after closing the CCT puts it back to the first arrangement.

Hmmm... Makes me wonder what the CCT cleanup settings are?

Looking at the code, the CCT simply calls the clean up method on the top-level diagram. Maybe the structure was selected in the manual clean up?

Back when block diagram cleanup first came out in LabVIEW 8.6, I spent some time trying to tweak the settings, but I never found any that worked as well as the defaults, so that's what I use now.

In general I just use it to get things "kind of" clean and from there I always expect to manually clean things up. So, I'm with Darren on this one and just use the defaults, because I never expect diagram cleanup to be the end-all-be-all. Especially because I often want certain bends in my wires such as error clusters coming up to and out of the bottom of subVIs, which I think is a fairly common technique to avoid unnecessary bends in other wires such as queue references. I also usually like to adjust the build array output to look like it's at the top of the node, instead of in the middle, which keeps it clean going into shift registers.
