General labview questions

[larry94022]

I'm fairly new to Labview and some general questions.

1. Is there any zoom capabilities to magnifly the block diagrams? Some of the VI's which have a lot of terminals are difficult to read.

2. How do I determine or find where a particular VI is located in the file system? There are some example vi that call other vi that are not part of standard release and I would like to use them in my vi.

regards

The answer to number 1 is no. (unfortunately as this would be a great feature)

#2 --  the example VIs are stored in a shared library for use with the help system.

        however, you should be able to do a "Save As" and save the VIs to a new location for later use.

Hey Larry,
    There is no zoom feature for LabVIEW.  However, there is the Navigation window, which can show you a high level view of the block diagram and allow you to move around it much faster than scrolling.  This feature is located under View in LabVIEW.

    To determine where a VI is located, you can look at the VI properties.  The General tab within the properties will show the path to where the VI is saved.  For VIs contained within the example finder, most are within llbs.
