LabVIEW Idea Exchange
The real-time updating of the block diagram when dragging the borders of a structure is a nice feature, though there's one thing I noticed was lacking compared to previous versions of LabVIEW - some sort of indicator of the structure's original size during a resize operation.
For example I begin a resize operation in LV2015, and get a dotted border of the new structure size, while the original structure is visible. I can see the previous and current state of play in one move. With the LV2016 resize I can see the current state of things, but not what the structure size was. I propose adding an indicator to show the original structure size during a resize operation in LV2016.
Why is this useful? I find it helps better visualise spatial relationships between items on the block diagram during a resize (how much room do I need to make inside the loop to fit three more VIs?). It is also a hint as to what cancelling the resize operation will revert the block diagram back to.
It need not be a dotted box if that's confusing with older versions of LabVIEW. Perhaps a semi-transparent / greyed out version of the structure? Or perhaps a dotted line drawn between the old handle position and the new (similar the ctrl+mouse drag when inserting space).
