save modified sub-vi without affecting the original sub-vi

[1729ram]

Hi

I m a novice labview user..i have got few llb's and i m making my labview program using sub-vi's in those llb..sometimes i want to modify a sub-vi and just save the modified sub-vi in the master vi only..i dont want that change to reflect in original sub-vi..

appreciate your help

First, you should not be using llb's for development. Convert them to a folder of VIs. Second, what problem do you have with the Save As dialog?

Well, SAVE AS would save the the complete VI including the modified sub-vi' but the modifications will also be reflected in the orginial sub-vi in llb's which i dont want..do you mean to say that i should separtely save the modified sub-vi somewhere but that would be time consuming as i have 100's of sub-vi's..i though there would be a easy way i m unware of

100's of subVI's?

How time consuming can saving 100's of subVI's to a new location or a new file name be compared to the time it takes to modify the 100's of subVI's?

Another alternative is to drag out and copy all of your subVI's to a new location first (not in an .llb), then go through and do the modifications.

ok ..well i agree i can do that...its just irrttating and increases complexity.....the benefit of llb is that its there in functions/palletes so i can simply drag/drop a sub-vi....do the changes to my sub-vi while having a completer picture of master vi...

i guess i will save all the sub-vi to some place else from llb and go abt it..
