resize block diagram

I have a block diagram which bigger than my computer screen. I need to resize it so that I can add for instance case structures. Do you know how I can do that? thanks

You should still be able to scroll right laft up and down, then you just add what you need.

If your looking to add room you can just hold down control and drag with your mouse, that will add an amount of space equal to the size of the area you drag with your mouse.

To resize it smaller I havent found a trick yet except manually doing it.

Hope that helps,
Dave

IF you need room somewhere in the middle, just click on some empty space, hold down the control key, and drag out a box. The surrounding code will move out leaving an empty space with the size of the dragged box. 🙂

I actually try to add a case structure around a while loop which is bigger than the screen. But it does not work. Thanks

That should work just fine.

Scroll to the upper left corner, start the case structure, then drag to the lower right ouside the window (don't release the mause button). The window content will scroll. Now go back into the window an place the lower right corner where you want it. Works fine here. 🙂

(And don't forget some of the LabVIEW proverbs in our collection, for example the second on here :D)

Also, when you try to scroll with your mouse wheel it will drop your case structure or wire. I find this unbelievably annoying.
