Export VI from LabView project with dependencies

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello,

 

I have been working on a new LabView project for a couple of months.  I found an older LabView library with some useful functionality for what I am working on.  The older library is very large, so I do not want to add all of it to my newer project. 

 

I would like to export just a single VI from the older project along with its dependencies, but I do not see any method for doing this.  Is there a way to do this?  The VI I would like to export has 90 dependencies; if it was only a couple I would just copy and paste, but this is too many for that.

You could try to make a source distribution (under build specification).

It's frustrating that if you want to use just one thing from a library, you get the rest of the library, too.  I choose to just live with it.  If you build an executable out of it, the default is to just grab the things you are using.

If you do a save as one of the options is to "duplicate hierarchy to new location". This will generate a new folder with all of the vi's and control to support that vi.

I've had good luck with this method.
