block diagram, front panel messed up

[drogne]

Why do block diagrams and front panel controls get bunched up and screwed up when you open vi's on different computer with different labview versions.

Can anything be done to prevent this?

Does everybody have this issue?

Thanks,

I haven't seen it with different versions of LabVIEW, work across a number of versions on a regular basis, but have seen it when the different computers are set up with different screen resolutions and or have different defaults fonts defined.

Putnam, that probably the cause of the issue then, but it's not a desirable feature. I just through this out there to see if anyone has found any tips to prevent it.

Or better yet, maybe NI could fix it. This can cause MAJOR frustration.

I am using stock installs of vista and xp and I regularly battle it.

Thanks

You can _try_ to address this issue by right clicking on the vi's icon when it is open in the edit mode, select "VI properties", select "Window Size". Under this selection there are two selections that   _may_  help, they are supposed to partially address the issue you are describing. I never had much luck with them in the past, have to admit I have tried them in a while, try to find out what the target system's resolution is and develop the code in that resolution.
