PJS Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Bookmarks or Hot spots in diagrams. Frequently queued message architecture has lots and lots of states (see my next wish). I would love to be able to set a bookmark, hotspot, hyperlink and have a floating palette that allows me to one touch navigate centered on that section. Please do not forget the back! Yes, I know I can set a discrete text tag down and use the find, but that is a crippled work around at best and I get no back. Quote Link to comment
Mike Ashe Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I asked NI for a programmatic interface into the Find dialog several times in the past few years. That would let us develop what you are asking for. Quote Link to comment
Louis Manfredi Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I heartily agree-- and we should be able to seach for bookmarks in all vis in memory, not just one. (A kludgey trick I use to partly substitute for the "back" button: If I'm working on something that has a run arrow, or only a few errors, I'll plant an unwired add in a spot to which I plan to return. Then all I have to do is click on the broken arrow, and select that add from the list to get back to where I was.) Regards, Louis Quote Link to comment
Mike Ashe Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I think we might be able to make a workaround tool using scripting. Quote Link to comment
m3nth Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Another possible workaround to this is to add a blank bookmark vi (inside of a disable structure if you want) and then add that to your palette. Then you can place as many as you want and search for them as desired. Quote Link to comment
