Eugen Graf Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Hello, is it possible to convert all of my project VIs including depencies and all of files to previous version? I have 8.0.1 and want to convert and distribute for 7.1. Thanks, Eugen Quote Link to comment
Eugen Graf Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Is it not posible??? Must I open every VI (of 30) and save they for previous version? What would be if I would have 500 VIs? Quote Link to comment

All linked VIs (except those in vi.lib) will also be saved for previous. Is this what you need? /J Quote Link to comment

Thanks, Eugen No, you can write a VI to do it for you. Open your project, grab all the targets (regular .vi's and dependencies) and save them for a previous version in a new folder. I'll try to make something that will do it for you. Quote Link to comment

Something approximately like the attached should help you out. What I'm including is far from fully functional, but it should give you a good starting point. Hope it helps! Alternatively, just use JFM's solution, it is probably much better. If you are saving it for a prev version, your dependencies should be available on that computer in the previous version anyway. Thanks, save for previous version in LV includes all depencies automaticaly only if i select a folder in the save dialog. But the VI from ars_stowers is very interesting. Thanks a lot, Eugen Quote Link to comment
