Adjust Pane Origin for Block Diagram

Status: Already Implemented

Functionality already available in LabVIEW 2019 and later. The Arrange VI Window shortcut in Quick Drop (Ctrl-Space, Ctrl-F) will reposition all the diagram objects relative to the origin, in addition to resizing the window itself to fit contents.

Hi Team,

 

A really small thing (and cosmetic...), but could you enable 'Adjust Pane Origin' for the block diagram, please? Since LabVIEW 19, there's an option to adjust the pane origin on the FP (Edit > Adjust Pane Origin

 

I would like the option to do that on the BD too as I like having BD dots on, but the origin looks out of place (unless I manually move the BD).

Weibe, if you want the Arrange VI Window shortcut in LV 2014 through 2018, you can download it here:

@Darren:

If that sets the origin of the diagram, doesn't that make this idea almost "already implemented"?

 

Almost, because a) it's not in a menu and b) it's not standard.

You're right, Wiebe. I went ahead and marked the idea as Already Implemented.
