font change: Append VI List of SubVIs to Report

Hello

I would like to create a documentation of my application. I'm using LabView 8.2. Therefore I will use the vi "Append VI List of SubVIs to Report (path).vi" from reportdoc.extension.llb to create a list of all included subvi's. I tried to set the font to smaller dimension but without success. Is the font size linked to the symbol dimension (symbols of the subvi's) so that this will be not changeable? Or is there another way to create easy this list. From my side I don't need the symbols just the text based list, preferable listed in alphabetic order.  At least I will programme a vi which creates a whole documentation of my LABView application. This means LABView application is not running and there are also dynamic called subvi's.  

 

kind regards reto

This problem is being caused by one of the lower-level subVIs resetting the font when appending the VI Names.  Open up Append VI List of SubVIs to Report.vi, and then open its subVI called "Append Bolded Text to Report.vi".  In this VI, you can delete both of the "Set Report Font.vi" subVIs.  Notice that their "font settings" input is unwired...that's why your font setting is not being used for the subVI names.  After deleting these two VIs, you should see your font settings being applied to the subVI names in the report.  I recommend saving a backup copy of "Append Bolded Text to Report.vi" before trying this out.

Good luck,
