inserting subvi file as part of main vi file

[Danjohn]

I created a file that puts shadows onto an image. I cleaned up and shortened the file by using a subvi. I don't know if there is a way to package the main vi together with the subvi so I can keep it together as a package rather than referencing both files any advice on how I can do this or more efficient way to combine the pieces would be greatly appreciated

my subvi file is attached here

In your main VI, do a File...Save with Options...

Select Development Distribution and save to a new location. It will create a llb file containing everything.

Lately, I've been making an effort to keep related vi's together in some sort of folder structure under a "root" directory for a given application. If you are looking for something a little more explicit, you can do a "Save with Options" from your primary vi and select "Developement Distribution". By default, this will combine all the vi's used in your vi's hierarchy into a library file (.llb). I don't remember if it does it by itself, but if not you can manually assign the top level vi from Tools:Edit VI Library. This way, when you doubleclick your llb from Windows Explorer it will automatically open your primary vi.

I see Altenbach jumped in ahead of me. Hopefully this provides some more details.
