A list of nice to have

Status: Declined

Maybe there are some of them already existing, but this list is based on my experience.

 

-          Read and write connection to each variable 

 

-          Highlight execution only for a selected area or block

 

-          Possibility to change the Highlight execution speed

 

-          When the grid is activated

               Snap wiring to grid

               Size icons and blocks automatically to grid

               Snap connections to grid

               Align and size cases, loops, sequence, ... to grid

 

-          Search option for a combination between object and text

 

-          Logging and alarm properties for shared vars in cRIO

 

-          Modern set of valves and pipes

 

-          Cleanup wiring within selection

 

-          Preview wiring while moving items

First of all, 1 idea per thread.  With a long list like this, how is NI going to know which one to go after?

 

Do a search before posting.  A majority of those ideas are already in the Idea Exchange and/or implemented in LabVIEW.

>Read and write connection to each variable 

 

Do you mean find the reads and the writes of a variable? This already exists when I right click on a variable, I can find its usages. If you mean something else, please file a new Idea to explain this further.

 

>Highlight execution only for a selected area or block

 

This idea already exists in the Exchange.

 

>Possibility to change the Highlight execution speed

Some parts of this idea already exist in the Exchange.

 

> Search option for a combination between object and text

 

This is a new Idea. A good one. Please create a new Idea entry to explain it further.

 

> Logging and alarm properties for shared vars in cRIO

 

I do not know exactly what you're asking for here (cRIO is not my specialty). Please check for an existing idea.

 

> Modern set of valves and pipes

 

This is a new idea. Please create a new Idea entry to explain it further.

 

> Cleanup wiring within selection

 

This is already done. Select a subregion of your diagram and hit Ctrl+U.

 

> Preview wiring while moving items

 

Not sure what you mean by this one. As far as I can tell, this already happens -- wires are shown while dragging and autowiring previews if anything is going to kiss together. Please create a new Idea and explain this request further.

 


I will ask the moderator to decline this megaidea as it really cannot be discussed as a block.

Thank you for the effort, AristosQueue

 

It saved me a lot of time, searching for every item is time consuming and, I suppose, You have already a big list in your personal memory. I don't know if there is an email system for the idea exchange. (e. sending the last 10 new items and let them answer with a vote for one of them). In that case we are automatically up to date.

 I find it ==> "Allow Wiring to Determine Property Node Read/Write"

This is not the same, what I mean is cleanup the WIRING not the diagram

I will create a new idea

This is of less importance we may omit. (it's like in siemens SAPRO, a graphical language for a siemens controller)
