I don't see cursor lock button in Labview 8.5

[djpritchard]

I have seen a reference to a cursor lock that is supposed to be near the cursor arrow keys - but I'm running 8.5 and don't see the cursor lock.  Is there any way to activate that feature in 8.5?

From another post -  - "2. To associate cursor with some of your plots you must click on the "lock" image near the cursor coordinates in the legend. The drop down menu will appear. Select "Lock to plot" option. Also there is a list of available plots in this menu. Select one of your six to specify plot to which cursor will be locked." 

Thanks

Hi djpritchard,

you have to create the cursor as "Single plot" (or Multi plot) in the cursor legend. Then you will find a menu entry "Snap to" in the right-click menu of that cursor. "Free" cursors don't show that menu entry - as they are free...

Edit:

You could also use the property node "Cursor.CursorMode" to set the cursor behaviour from "Free" to "Single Plot" or vice versa!
