Try Ctl+B

That gets rid of all your broken wires


Good luck, and welcome!

Chris Labview;

Yes. From the Edit menu, select "Remove Broken Wires". The keyboard shortcut is Control+B.

I guess you are not looking for a way to remove broken wires (^b), but to do the equivalent of "right-click...Clean up Wire", but for all wires at once.

AFAIK, this is not possible and I'm not sure if that would be very useful.

This is actually possible using scripting (see attached llb). Wether it is usefull or not, it is another story.

Sweeeeeet VI Good job. how did you get the ref to the block diagram. I have been looking for it.

[PJM_Labview]

Hi

Open the Block Diagram of the vi named "Open Block Diagram Refnum.vi" and read the note I put in here. It says "Exposed in several location:
ex: ..\National Instruments\MAX\Assistants\LVCGen\LV70\mxwScript_ClusterConnector.vi"

For more scripting utility and exposed primitive go to the LAVA forum and check this Sub Forum:

All,

I just wanted to add a note to point out that scripting is unsupported and you should be cautious about using it. In the VI attached you can not undo the cleaning of the wires. So if the results where not what you expected you are left with them.

That is true, but it is easy to modify it to check the result before saving.

>scripting is unsupported and you should be cautious about using it.

Absolutly; I can even say that some functions may occasionally crash labview.

Although for me the advantages of scripting are greater than the risks involved in using it, it might not be the case for every one.

Enjoy (with caution)
