Copy and Paste VI Properties from One VI to Another

Status: New

I misunderstood ouadji's post here, but I liked my interpretation of it. I didn't find it on the Exchange so...

 

Idea:

Make it possible to copy the VI properties from one VI to another.

 

Method:

User right-clicks on the VI in question, selects "Copy VI Properties", then right-clicks on the new VI and selects "Paste VI Properties". BAM! All (or almost all - to be discussed) properties are copied to the new VI.

 

Similar to JMP's Copy Column Properties:

What properties would be copied over?

Initally, I thought EVERYTHING! But then my fit of insanity passed and I realized that some items should not be copied.
