Is there a way to exclude programming structures from diagram cleanup?

So, I just started Labviewing a month or 2 ago. I really have to get used to the wires. Now, the "Diagram Cleanup" tool generally works fine, but even after tweaking it, it still makes my VI's explode to 3x their size. Is there a way to lock the programming structures I arranged to my liking, so the "Diagram Cleanup" tool doesn't re-inflate them when I decide my newly written code needs a cleanup?

 

Thanks.

No...

 

There is also no way to get it to do other common sense things like turn all stacked sequences into flat sequences - which would be very helpful when I'm cleaning up code that uses sequences (which you shouldn't be using anyway).

 

BTW, if your code is really growing to the extend mentioned that might be an indication that you need to revisit your code's basic design. Can you post screen shots of the Navigation window showing your code?

After discovering what the "Event Structure" was for (shame on me for not finding it earlier Smiley Surprised ), I cleaned up my window considerably, since I no longer had a couple of screens full of buttons connected to case structures.

Alright, suppose I'll just have to not use the cleanup function in my sort-of-organized VI's then.

Grouping events neatly together solves most of my space requirements for now, it's just a little larger than my 1028x1024 screen (until next time I decide to click "Clean up diagram" ).

 

Just wanted to be sure I hadn't missed the option to "lock" loops from auto changes. Thanks for the help.
