Bug when updating a type def Enum


@Bob_Schor wrote:

My own "Rule of Thumb" (which I learned from reading, several times, Peter Blume's "LabVIEW Style Book" cover-to-cover) is to make all of my VIs fit on a standard Laptop screen.  Sometimes this involves making a parallel loop into a sub-VI taking (only) 32 x 32 pixels, but this lets you concentrate on the Top Level vi ...

 

Notice Gerd's picture shows his example is pretty close -- I'd call it about 1.3 x 1.3 Laptops.  We've seen some Block Diagrams that are 15 x 5 Laptops, clearly a challenge to manage (unless you have 75 monitors available).

For myself, I want VIs to vertically fit a laptop screen; but I don't mind if they're very wide (as long as there's little or no reverse flow).

Wasn't there a VI shown in the forum that was 40 screens tall by 20 screens wide or something like that?

Probably, but I didn't want to be too outrageous ...

And then there's stuff like this gem that I came across many years ago:

Here's the equivalent code:

I tried to interpret the code and it was surprisingly hard, but with the comment things got very easy!

Also, with respect o BD size, right click on a structure and choose "properties" to see the BD coordinates of the structure.

 

There may still be issues if you have "only" 4x4 screens, but they're all shifted by 30k pixels
