Hi,

at the moment I am working with a huge
block diagram. It is a bit difficult,
to keep the overview over the whole block diagram
by scrolling.

Is there any possibility of Labview to zoom out of the
block diagram?
Any other solution?
I could find one in the internet.

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,
Hannes

Hi,

sorry for my mistake. I counld not find one in the
internet.

Thank you for the posting about Birds Eye View.
But how does it work?
Should I have to open it first and then I can open
the other VI with BEV?

regards,
Hannes

Just download and play with the tool. The tool detects the VIs
currently in memory, and you can select the one you want to see in the
control that reads "VIs in Mem". Because you have access to the source
code, you can review it to learn the nuts and bolts on how it works!

sure he will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have
(and even add new features you request, of course, if they are
valuable and can be implemented)

I certainly would do that :)

thanks 1000-times!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

It works.
I just open the Birds eye View first and I could not load
any other VIs. But now I understood to load the VI first and
then to open the BEV.

Thanks again.

Hi Hannes,

>I understood to load the VI first and then to open the BEV.

Actually, you can open the BEV first, and if you have nothing else in
memory, you can browse to a VI using the VI path control (next to the
VIs in Mem text ring). You can also load VIs after having opened the
BEV. It will refresh the VIs list in memory (text ring) every two
seconds. Click the help button (upper right corner a button that look
like this -> [?]) for more description about the BEV functionality.

Cheers

If LV7.1 has this built in, how is it accessed?
