Conflicts by different LV versions

[Nghtcrwlr]

Hello

I have a small question regarding different LabVIEW versions. I work with a project and common library files that are in LV2011 . Unfortunately I opened the project in LV2012 version. Will this make problems like converting the LV2011 library files to 2012? Will it affect in any other way to the library files?Because I use these library files in other projects also. Thats is why such a question. I am worried..:S

What are "common library files"?

In general:

Unless you save the VIs in the higher version, they will not change. If you accidentally saved them in the new version, you can do a "save for previous" to convert them back.

"common library files" are vis that are used in another projects + some self developed llbs. They are like general vis and llb functions for a specific function. ( eg distance calculation, roundness etc...)

I just opened them in LV2012 but didnt save the project again while Closing the project. So am I still in safe zone? I was worried that when i open them in LV2012, they get automatically converted to LV2012 version.

You should be safe.  Upon opening, they get automatically updated in memory, but will give you the option to save it when you close it.

This sounds like the perfect reason to use VI Package Manager.  That way you can manage your reuse code and each version of LabVIEW will have their own copy.
