Tips for Changing Namespace?

[lvb]

If a library was renamed and some of the callers were not in memory/loaded, what is the best way for updating these?  It would be ideal if LabVIEW accepted an object with a different namespace in the "Searching..." window, but it does not.

If there are a lot of them, the best way is probably to recreate the original (if you can simply revert from SCC, that's the best), load the code and then do a replace all with the new one.

Thanks for the response.  I agree that the best way to relink is to always rename from a LabVIEW project with everything loaded into memory.

 

I am attempting to write a refactoring tool that can fix the "missing items".  This tool should be able to work with items that are no longer available.  The only way I have been able to resolve this within the LabVIEW IDE is to find the block diagram item and replace with... in the pallet or using quick drop replace.  A tedious process.

 

 

I have another post in the scripting forum with some issues on the replace missing method here.
