Labels handled during block diagram cleanup

[BrianKincaid]

I really like block diagram cleanup in 8.6 but it does not handle labels very well at this time.  We stopped using floating text for code documentation since cleanup sends them to the lower left of the diagram.  Instead we started using labels for structures, VI icons, etc.

The 'space' the labels occupy should not be ignored.

Your idea might already be obsolete.

Watch the webcast of the just released LabVIEW 2009 and you'll learn that label handling has been improved significantly. 😄

Wire labels should "snap to" the wire and travel with the wire, like net labels in schematic capture programs have done for decades. Let me know if I'm wrong, but I don't think 2009 does that, it just recognizes a labeled wire and moves it with the cleanup, which is an improvent.
