Replace All Instance (Sub VI)

Status: Declined
Functionality already in LabVIEW.

Hi All,

 

This is my first Idea for LabVIEW improvement.

 

It will be great if we have "Replace All Instance" option in LabVIEW. 

 

For example - we are calling a same Sub VI at 3-4 places and we want to replace that Sub VI at all instance from another one than instead of replacing one by one, it will be of great help if there is a option for "Replace All Instance" along with "Replace" option.

 

I guess that won't be possible for functions but for Sub VIs, it will be of great use.

 

Regards,

Raman Jaiswal

This is possible already. "Find All" instances, and in the results list at the bottom there is a "Replace All" function. Select the new VI, "Replace All", then check each of the instances (or spot check) in the list to ensure it properly linked.

In addition, the Quick Drop plugin "replace" (shipped with LV) also replaces several selected objects within a VI with the new one defined in the qd dialog.
