Add llb to palette set

[RTSLVU]

I am trying to add the llb C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\vi.lib\Utility\Queue.llb to my palette set because I really like using the simple Queue vi's for queued state machines.

Going in and editing the palette set has proven to be not as simple as one would imagine.

Going to tools-> Advanced-> Edit Palette Set

Then select user libraries (or any sub palette catagory off the main) and insert sub palette

The box pops up and I select Link to an LLB (.llb)

I navigate to C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\vi.lib\Utility\ and select queue.llb

All that shows up in the palette is a generic sub palette icon that says "vi's" and it is empty

Saving it then produces an empty "?" sub palette.

How can I add this to my palette set?

I also have tried adding the llb to my favorites and the same thing happens, I get nothing...

There is a queue.mnu file (not sure about the exact name). Copy this to your user.lib\myQueue folder. Then you can add your own vi's to this premade palette.

Hi RTSLVU,

I'm not sure I understand the difficulty you are having. When I go through the following steps, I am able to successfully add the Queue.llb to a palette of my choice.

1. Go to Tools » Advanced » Edit Palette Set

2. Select a Palette you want to modify, or Right Click in the grey space on the functions palette window, and select 'Insert Subpalette'

2b. If you selected 'Insert Subpalette', you have the option of creating a new palette file (which is the option I tested)

3. In the palette that you want to customize (the one that you want to add the Queue functions to, Right Click in the grey space, and select 'Link to an LLB (.llb)'

4. Browse to and select the queue.llb (it's the path that you specified in your post)

5. You should now have the Queue functions added as a subpalette to whatever palette you wanted to customize

Your instructions work on one computer

I have two others that it does not work on and ends up with an empty "?" Icon subpalette.

In this case two out of three is bad..

RTSLVU,

What is different between the computer that it works on and the two computers that it doesn't work on?

1. Are they all running the same operating system?

2. Are they all running the same version of LabVIEW, and are they all using the same patch (if applicable)?

Could you please provide some more information about what OS(es) are in play here? From your initial post, I would assume that you are doing all of this in LabVIEW 2009?

[RTSLVU]

All three are running LV2009 sp1 (9.0.1 32bit) and Windows XP Professional sp3 (32bit)

In reality these are all pretty much identical systems.

The only difference I can think of is the one that works is my main development system that is on our corporate network and has several corporate security policies applied the two that don't work are on a separate physical network and have no extra security policies.
