Faster wiring of similar functions

[datafleet]

Many times there is a need to wire up a chain of sub-VIs that are all from the same toolkit or class.   They have a common reference and error cluster flowing through them.   It would be great to have function where I could select all the sub-VIs and with one click have them auto-wired.   This would dramatically cut down on the number of mouse clicks.

I'd be happy if the error cluster and reference would BOTH be automatically wired when I place subsequent nodes.

You could try using this - http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-8386 .

I can't comment on it, because I have my own version, but I assume it works the same and mine works exactly like what you want.

Jim, I believe that subsequent nodes are already wired automatically IF you have auto wiring enabled AND you drop the VI/primitive close enough to the existing one (I believe the default distance is on the order of 10 pixels).

yes indeed tst.  The RCF of JKI handles this perfectly.  YOu should try it sometime datafleet.

Ah yes.  I had auto-wiring turned off for so many years (for different reasons) it didn't enter into the thought process.   Thanks for the reminder.

Functionality already exists in LabVIEW. Auto-wiring option must be enabled though.
