clad questions

Yep it worked and to think they said in another discussion that this functionality was removed in 8.0 and I am using 8.20.
thanks
), based on Joe's comment on his block diagram, the answer to the question depends on how you interpret the meaning of the word "iteration". Joe seems to interpret iteration as being the same as the value of "i". This seems to imply that he's using the strictest definition of "iteration" which is a repetition of a set of instructions. That is, the first time you're going through the loop you're not repeating anything, so iteration is 0. Then, the answer to the question is the the third iteration is when i=3, so the answer is 8. If, however, you take the more loose meaning of iteration as being the same as how many times you went through the loop, the third iteration is the third time through the loop, or when i=2, so the answer is 4. Moral: This question is bad in so many ways it's not even funny.
Very interesting.
I followed smercurio's directions in LV 7.1. It kept it as a back arrow. Once I dragged the feedback note to the left of the junction point the wire jumped off to go to the terminal, then it automatically flipped to forward. I saved the VI and opened it in LV 8.2 it was till forward.
I created another in LV 8.2. It seemed to be more automatic. But every time I tried to recreate steps, the behavior wasn't repeatable.
My conclusions:
1. Feedback (forward) nodes do behave differently in 8.2 compared to 7.1. (I'm talking how the are placed and moved on the block diagrams.)
2. The behavior of feedback nodes of placing and moving is erratic. I couldn't always get it to repeat.
3. Avoid feedback nodes whenever possible. Shift registers are clearer.
4. If the node becomes feed forward, get rid of it or change the wiring. Feed forward nodes make less sense on the diagram than even feedback nodes.
Ben, Thanks for the congrats on the win. I'd say it was the best game the Ravens had played all year, and probably the best they have ever played. My wife and inlaws are Steeler fans, so I've enjoyed giving them some payback for the grief they caused me last year.

Thank you all ,
But what is the final conclusion .shuld I go for the third iteration as "i=2" or "i=3"
Still hanging with one more day to go for the test. 
Regards
I'll be going for my CLAD pretty soon as well, so all of this information is well timed for me
I was also really stumped over the Feedback node question. It took three tries to get the node to change directions in 7.1 Not sure why either.
Hopefully if I do get this question, or one like it; I'll be ready for it.
