disconnect from library

[Kranthi]

Hi guys,

    I've a problem in creating a new library and save all my stuff in this library. I wanna save everything in new library and disconnect from old library.But labview doesnt show me file->disconnect from library option. How can i disconnect the files from previous library and save in new library.

Hi Kranthi,

      It sounds like you've figured-out how to create an LLB using "save with options."  Unfortunately, there's no disconnect option (at least not in 7.1) 

After creating a new LLB, there are two copies of the VI hierarchy and having the old VIs laying-around is an invitation for trouble.  After creating the new LLB, quit LabVIEW and "hide" the old VIs - if the old VIs are also in an LLB, just change the extension to something like .LLX;  if not, rename the top-level folder and/or move the top-level folder to a galaxy far-far away.  Sometimes I'll zip and erase old VIs (keep the zip) - the important thing is that the old VIs be removed from LabVIEWs search-path!

Closing LabVIEW may seem extreme, but sometimes LabVIEW keeps VIs open in memory, even though no panels are visible in the development environment - closing LabVIEW makes certain the old VI names/paths are flushed from LabVIEW's memory.

Once the old VIs are hidden, open LabVIEW and run the top-level VI in the new LLB.  If any VIs are missing, you'll get the search window.  Be careful!  If you link to a VI in the hiding-place (for old VIs) LabVIEW will add that path to the search path!

Sorry if that seems like a long answer to a simple question.

Hope it helps!
