printing the front panel with arrays

Hello,

 

I have a cluster with 15 graphs in it. When I open the front panel in labview 7.1 and print it, All the graphs are printed on the sheet. But when I open in 8.5 and print the front panel only the graphs that are visible on the screen are printed on the sheet and rest of the cluster is blank. Can any one tell me why is this happening and how can I print all the graphs when I open the application with labview 8.5.

 

Thanks,

Mudda.

Hey,

 

You have different options in 8.5 wherase one is "printe complete frontpanel" and another one "print visible portion of frontpanel".

Which one did you select?

Hello Christian,

 

what options are you talking about? Are you talking options while I print the screen or in the Tools>Options tab?

Hey,

 

I'm talking about the dialog which appears when your press File>Print in the menu. What way are you using to print the FP?

I've rencently run into a similar problem, and I think 8.5 is buggy in this respect. How are your data structures? In my case I had a 2D array where each element was a cluster containing a graph. Similar to your observations, areas outside the window boundary did not print out correctly in 8.5. Things worked better when I use 8.6.

 

I have not fully investigated this, so I have not filed a bug report yet.
