Sorry to jump in to this so topic so many years later, but I am new to OOP, and have been struggling with the same question. The alternative solution I came up with was to store the class data in the children instead of the parent. That way each child can have its own unique default settings, and the object can be dropped onto the diagram without needing a separate "creator" vi. The class data is accessed by creating override methods in the children. Anything inherently wrong with this approach?
