Application Control Items - Replace without disturbing the connected wires

[P@Anand]

While replacing the Property nodes with Invoke node, Call by Reference, Start Asynchronous call and Wait on Asynchronus call, the primitives are shifting the origin disturbing the wires. So a cleanup is reaquired all the time whenever the items are replaced. It would be very helpful and infact time saving if this is corrected.

Place a Property Node in BD with the Error in and Out connected

Replace the Porperty Node with an Invoke Node

Repeat the same with other primitives

The same behaviour is not found when the Call by Reference, Start Asynchronous call and Wait on Asynchronus call primitives are replaced with one another.

Another instance where LabVIEW aggravates OCD

Yeah, this one really bugs me. Your idea exchange post is motivating me to fix the issue with Quick Drop Replace, which has the same problem...

So we can expect some LabVIEW cleanup pretty soon!

Alrighty, I filed CAR 511000 on this issue (as it pertains to Quick Drop). Should be fixed in a future LabVIEW release.

Unfortunately, fixing the C++ side requires significantly more effort, so non-quick drop replace isn't going to be fixed anywhere near as soon. Noted for future release consideration.

Issue fixed with Quick Drop Replace in LabVIEW 2015 and later. We have no further plans to address the issue with right-click Replace.
