Jon Kokott Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I've been evaluating LV2011 and noticed that a feature from 2010 does not appear to be available in 2011. 2010: when in a .lvproj: File->Locate in project will locate the current VI within the project hierarchy. 2011 (and older than 2010 versions of labview) appear not to have this. I do use this and am somewhat disappointed Does anyone know why they would take that away? ~Jon Quote Link to comment
gmart Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I did not see a File->Locate in Project. There is a View->This VI in Project (CTRL+SHIFT+E) which is present in 2010 and 2011 that does what mention. Perhaps the menu item you referenced was a tool added to 2010? 1 Quote Link to comment
Jon Kokott Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hmm, I wonder where that shortcut in the file menu came from. I think it is in ONLY LV2010 SP1 for me. I think its largely irrelevant based on what you say, I'll just start using the hotkey. Thanks, ~Jon Quote Link to comment
Darren Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 User-defined menu entries in the File pull-down menu are linked to VIs created in the [LabVIEW]\wizard directory. Do you have a 'wizard' directory in your LabVIEW 2010 install? 1 Quote Link to comment

It wasn't there by default in 2009, Yair says it should be here, I can't check 2010 as I don't have it installed on this laptop. Cheers -JG 2 Quote Link to comment

Do you have a 'wizard' directory in your LabVIEW 2010 install? Correct, this was an option installed by OpenG. I was mistaken/(completely forgot you could add items to the file menu) in thinking it was something NI installed. Quote Link to comment
