Cut and Paste between LabVIEW versions

Status: New

Allow BD code and FP objects to be copied to the clipboard from a VI in an older version of LabVIEW and then pasted into a VI in a newer version.  If the code is obsolete or contains depricated functions then it should be processed the same way a VI is when loaded into a newer version of LabVIEW.

I would have used this several times !

This would avoid many steps in some cases. Example: copy part of the code from version 2014 to 2013:

 

  1. In LV 2014 select the desired part of the code
  2. Copy to clipboard
  3. Create a new VI
  4. Paste from clipboard
  5. Save to previous version, 2013
  6. Switch to LV 2013
  7. Open saved VI
  8. Copy the contents
  9. Paste where you need it

Of course you can save directly save (to previous version) the VI containing the desired (and undesired) code in order to reduce to 5 steps. Still a lot of tedious work. Great idea!
