Displaying BD instd of icon when dropped as subVI


Recommended Posts

Normally when u drop a subVI, only its icon will be displayed in the callee VIs block diagram. Is it possible to embed the block diagram of the VI instead of the icon when dropped as subVI. Thot this will be useful in cases like event structures where most of the time there will be a while loop outside the event structure. This if possible will save the time to select one more structure from the pallette... Getting lazy Uh.. :rolleyes:

What you need is the so called Merge VI.

First, make a VI that contains the diagram as you want it to have it when you drop it on an other BD. You need to make this VI available on your palette (e.g. place it in user.lib).

Under Tools->Advanced->Edit Palette Views you can edit the palettes. Here you can right click on VI's in the palette and select Merge VI to drop the VI's diagram instead of a subVI on your VI's diagram. So what you need to do is find your VI in the palette and enable the Merge VI option.
