Determing placement of items on the front panel

[Kaspar]

Hello,

  When I first run my vi and usually have to use the vertical and/or horizontal scroll bars to find the controls and/or indicators that I am interested in. I have noticed that when the vi is stopped the front panel has a silight darker "crosshair" on the front panle that indicates that there is something special about this location on the front panel. What does this "crosshar" on the front panel mean/represent?

Regards,

Kaspar

It's the origin of the Front Panel, and has the coordinates of 0,0.

Hello,

  Awesome, now I know what the crosshairs are. So, the next questions is.... can I firce the origian to be visible when I run the vi so that I do not have to use the vertical and horizontal scroll bars so that I can see the itmes I am interested in?

Regards,

Kaspar

We discussed that in a thread I started a while back. You can set the panel position with property nodes. Off the top of my head I do not recall exactly which ones.

You cannot move the block diagram that way. The block diagram also has an origin. If the alignment grid is not shown, a small box with the coordinates shows up when moving the scrollbars. I never checked whether the alignment grid shows the origin because I never use it on the diagram.
