Rotate Block Diagram Icons

[JoshuaZ]

I would like a way to rotate the block diagram icons (like +, X, etc.). right now LabView forces me to build programs from left to right. I don't always want to make a bunch of subVIs just to make it easy to fit on one screen view. If it was possible to rotate block diagram stuff 90 degrees (45 deg. not necessary) I could then connect my loop counters (i) easily to a sink that is controlled by what loop I'm on and other applications wouldn't become so large (left to right).

Read this book and you'll figure out why your suggestion is not a good idea:

Similar idea that was just posted but for Front Panel Objects http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/being-able-to-rotate-some-indicators-controls-graphics...

     I love this idea. I came to the idea exchange today to propose it myself. I know you could argue That sub VIs should eliminate the need for this, but if nothing else it would be an amazingly helpful tool for the first iteration of your code.

     I think the best way to implement it would be a structure that rotated a hunk of code en mass. That way any existing code, function, or sub could be put in there.
