QD Insert item on wire

[MikaelH]

Is it just me that’s annoyed of the QD Insert item on wire function?

If you have a diagram like this below, and you like to add a +1 here:

The result becomes like this:

 

Enough is enough, I can't live without this feature but I tweaked it so it actually works.

Or at least it seem to work, please feel free to test it.

 

Place the attached VI in the Plugin folder:

..resourcedialogQuickDropplugins

 

Update the Insert.vi plugin and add this Sub VI here:

Insert_GuessInsertPoint.viUnavailable

(I've updated this sub VI)

Did it work for you?

Cheers,

Mike

It works, thanks.  Great job!

That is a lot easier than my fix for LV9 which predates the InsertPoint property as well as PaletteString.  LV10 was greatly simplified with the PaletteString addition, but the rewiring was still interesting.  Now it looks like Darren got the method changed to his liking, but he did not get around to using it.  Fortunately for the rest of us, the former is much harder than the latter.

Guys,

I did find a bug in the Sub VI, that has been fixed now.

The "BDwin.Origin" position had to be inverted.

I did get a chance to fix this issue for Quick Drop Ctrl-I in LabVIEW 2013. The issue has not yet been addressed for Ctrl-Shift-I.
