LV2011 Feature Reduction?

[Jon Kokott]

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?

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?

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,

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?

There is an OpenG package that installs this option.

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.

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.
