one click save control as typdef

Status: Completed
Available in LabVIEW 2011 and later

I make many (almost all) clusters and enums typdefs.  This requires a right click go 2 menu levels down to advanced>customize, then select typdef instead of control (which should be the defauld IMHO) then save and the close then select from popup, replace original with control.

 

I want right click on a control, ->save as typdef, skip the many steps to do what I want.  probably could save a minute or two each day here.

Great idea! I would use this feature.

In the meantime, you might wish to look at the RCF plugin I posted here. It does not currently replace the constant with the typedef, nor does it work on controls (I'm guessing), but both can be modified.
