How to find vi's etc not being used in a project?

[Rashid-Malik]

My task is to clean up code etc from a project that use about 170 files. Is there a way to find VI's, VIT's or CTL files that are present in the project folders but are not being used. I mean is there a way to find the answer to above question without having to go through code for each file? (I mean something like VI Analyzer?).

Thanks a lot!
Have a very nice day!

Hi rashid,

save the main vi as "source distribution" - all files needed (execpt dynamically loaded vis) will be included...

Thanks for the answer GerdW! But how exactly is that to be done. Should I create a new project with only the top level vi included in it. Or can it be done from the menu that appear above the top-level vi (when it is open in LabVIEW; I couldn't find any such facility). Sorry for bothering you but you are such a help and I couldn't help asking.
Thanks for your patience!

Hi Rashid,

the answer depends on your LV version:
- upto LV7.1 use save with options and create a llb with all needed files.
- from LV8 you need the vi in a project to create a source distribution
