Integrated snippet manager for block diagram code

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 3 kudos within 3 years after posting will be automatically declined.

It would be useful to have the possibility to save own snippets like a modified state machine and to access those snippets easily.

 

With LabVIEW 2009 and 2010 you can use the code snippet function and save snippets as PNG-file. But I have to use the Windows Explorer or something similar to manage them.

In LabVIEW you can only save templates but it's not possible to insert own block diagram snippets to an existing block diagram.

Not as a snippet, but you can add them to the palettes. See here for a quick way of doing this:

or you can add them to a project, and drag/drop from there!

Just checked dragging an image from the project drops a path constant witht he file name, maybe a new idea worth?
