Merge Two Reference Clusters into One

[Dan07]

Hello,

I have two reference clusters that are strict type def. and I need to merge them into one but keeping the Labels of the objects. This is just an example because I have a larger code with several objects and I need to merge references clusters into one, since many SubVIs have unbundle by name functions already setted. It is a long story. LOL

I don't need to have it happening on run time, it can be done before allowing me to create one single reference cluster that I will feed to my unbundle functions into the SubVIs.

Find below a picture showing what I want to achieve.

Thanks.

Don't build an array. Build a cluster.

Your solution is great! Is it possible to merge all References Cluster into one but when I unbundle it by name and select which element I want, don't have to select first the source cluster (in your example, Cluster 1 or Cluster 2) and then the reference that I want? Is it possible to bypass the selection of the Cluster name (Cluster 1 or Cluster 2) and have only the list of all objects in Cluster 1 and Cluster 2, everything together into one single list?

Thanks.

You'd have to unbundle each of the smaller clusters before building the larger one.

Thanks for the suggestion but the cluster is to big for that. it will take to much work to accomplish this task. However, I followed ShaunR (build a cluster instead of an array) and everything works great now.

Thanks all.

Did I read that right ShaunR? If I right click on a name node it will let me hide the long names? That's awesome. Thanks I didn't know that.

Yeah very useful for clusters of clusters of clusters...etc. I do my best to not have any items in my cluster have the same name as another item in another cluster. When hide long names is turned on, a quick glance may not be enough to ensure the right element was selected, if the same name is used.
