Replacing NI "Blank vi" by my own "Blank vi"

[plessnick]

Hello,

Does anyone knows if it is possible to replace the blank vi opened by LabVIEW when clicking on File/New vi... by our own vi ?

All you have to do is save a VI with a .vit extension and save it in the templates folder. Then, instead of selecting the Blank VI, expand the VI from Template heading and pick the one you want.

This is something I'd already done. It would be more convinient for me the do "CTRL+N" and I have my standard vi than openingthe NEW interface an select a template.

Another option you can check is placing your vit in one of the LabVIEW subfolders, which will cause it to appear in the File menu. I think it's the resource folder, but I'm not near a computer where I can check this at the moment, so you will need someone else on that. I remember an OpenG article discussing it. I know this works with Run when Opened VIs, but I'm not sure how it will work with an empty one. No shortcut, but at least you don't have to open the selection menu.

you can also create your template VI then put a short cut to it on your desktop (i am assuming you are using windows). then all you have to do is double click that shortcut. i asked several versions ago about the ability to do just what you are after but was told just to create a template and use it...
