Ability to Move the control/indicator/function out of the loop/structure without breaking wire

Status: Completed

Available in LabVIEW 2017 and later. Dragging items into and out of structures will retain the wiring across the structure border. You can press 'W' during the dragging operation to revert to the old behavior where wiring is not retained.

I searched for this Idea but I guess its not posted (If posted please excuse).

 

While moving the control/indicator/function (Unbundle cluster) outside the loop/structure the wire gets broken but it would be handy if we can move the controls without breaking the wire so reduces re-wiring. This will be very useful when it is implemented with all these. So the idea is to move any wired object without breaking the wire.

When the idea is implemented its easy for clearing

The same for the controls and indicators

Control move 3.png

I guess this would be more usefull while cleaning the code.

Hi,

I want to drag parts with [shift+w+dragging](move horizontal/vertical lock and old behavior(wire break)), but doesn't work .  Only [w+dragging] is working(wire break). Any suggestion?

gogomac,

You should not be holding down W.  By default of just dragging, the rewiring should happen.  If you do not want the rewiring to happen, you just tap W during the drag operation.

I'm sorry to late response and thank you for your reply and good information.
It worked well.
And I using it few days, but I don't wanna wire connecting.
In my usage, it's no good efficiency for work.  So I ask NI support to avoid this option in Labview.ini. If I get new information from NI support, I will put it this forum.

Hi,

I got information from NI support.
If you want to turn off dragging wireing feature, enter strings below to Labview.ini.
DragAutoWire=False
But this option set to False, drag wirering feature is off completely. I just want to reverse w-key feature(default is off, with press w-key is on). But it seems impossible 🙂

Thanks.
