LabVIEW
Size to Text Free Labels
Hi everyone,
I've been searching a little bit about this feature, but I can't find anywhere to disable by default "Size to Text" on Free Labels on Block Diagram (I think also in FP).
When I am typing in Free Labels inside smaller structures, it is kind annoying of trying to resize them later (Auto grow is off).
Is there a way in LabVIEW.ini or anywhere else to disable Size to Text by default? Apparently I can't find it (I am using LV2017).
Regards,
Pretty sure there isn't a way to change the default. It did come up before...
I feel your pain. I usually type a letter, resize to turn off the size to text AND to give it a proper size, then type my text.
But if Size To Text would be off off by default, what would be a good size for the non-growing label? A manual resize would still be needed almost always. So we'd still require a manual resize. It might not be that much better.
EDIT: And of course auto grow off is just evil 😇.

Hehehe, that's a point. But I really prefer resizing then right clicking every time. But, an INI parameter would be enough for me.

About Auto Grow: don't you like hiding source code in structures? 😂
Turning Auto Grow off may be evil, but leaving it on is definitely maniacal. In my workflow, if it is on, it tends to always blow up in ways I don't want it to. I prefer to manually size my structures.
I also do not know of a way to turn off Size to Text by default.
I know this is a workaround and not a solution, but you could always make a Quickdrop Plugin to drop a free label and automatically turn off S2T when it is placed. If you do want to go that route, this post may give you some direction.
