IHow to add a VI into a library llb?

[THANG NGUYEN]

I would like to know if there is a way I can add a VI into a .llb library? Ortherwise if I need to rebuild the llb, please tell me what is the good way to make an llb with an already llb and some external VI which I want to add to the new llb.

Best regards,

Thang

Hi Thang,

you can use the "llb Manager" or you save it directly into the llb. You can select the llb in the same way as a folder.

Hope it helps.

Mike,

Could you please tell more detail?

I have a seperate VI and a llb. Now I can use Project Explorer to add the file into the llb but the file still stay independently. It is still not saved as a VI inside the library. When I open the llb Manager, there is no function to add file.

Thanks,

Hi!

Just use Drag and Drop in LLB Manager. Its working. Useful if file already exists:

Or File->Save As... then select LLB and save directly in LLB as Mike mentioned. This way useful for new files.

You should also be aware that the use of llbs is not really a good idea unless you are creating something for just distribution. For development, an llb should not be used since a single corrupt VI can cause the whole llb to be unreadable. The forum is full of users who had to learn this lesson the hard way. Also, an llb does work well with source code control.

Agree with Dennis. I've got corrupted library too (but it was LV 6.0). And for SCC they are not very good. Take a look on libraries (*.lvlib) - probably this way is better for you.
