Changes with 2D-Plots within LV8.5

[jg69]

Hello,

usually I like to change the default layout of 2D-plots (like waveform graph, XY-graph, ...). Thus I'm very dissappointed that the following changes cannot be done anymore within LV8.5.

In LV8.2.1 one could resize the width of a plot legend (of course after dissabling "Autosize plot legend"):

In LV8.2.1 I could hide the scale name within the scale legend and even create a reference to the array of the scale legend:

Anybody else who does not like this?

Ya, it seems they've locked it down too much. On the other hand, I think this prevent newbies from shooting themselves in the foot.

You can still hide the name if you edit the cluster, replace the text box with a classic control, shrink it down to a 1x1 pixel stub and slide it under the scaling buttons.

Could be. But what do we want LabVIEW to be? A development system just for newbies? I hope, not!

My current workaround would be: Leave LV8.2.1 installed, create layout there, save it as *.ctl, then load that into LV8.5.

But I do hope, NI changes this ASAP. So, consider also as part of my wish list for the next version!
