Alignment of front panel

[Anonymous]

Is there any LV functions that aligned the objects on the front panel?
i'm using LV 6.1. i find objetcs on front panel become a mess (they're
overlapping each others) when i paste / add things in the block
diagram.

Please advise.

There are multiple ways to do it, the simplest way is to select the
object you want to align and using the alignment tools from the
toolbar to align them, this also works on the diagram object. Another
way is to use the property node (Position) of the objects to
programmatically allign the front panel objects.

Joe,
Do i need to select and align every object or group of objects (they
are hard to be selected, because they're overlapping each others) by
using the first method you mentioned?
Could you mind telling me more about the second method?
Thank

Labview have a very good set of alignment tools. Normally you don't
have to manually select each one, just click on open space and drag
the mouse so that the rectangle covers all the controls (a group) you
want to align, and then use the alignment tools. However, sometimes
you still have to move the control a little bit to align them.
