Wire labels moving out of position

Hello all,

 

I'm having a very frustrating issue with my wire labels. For some reason, all my wire labels seem to get moved up and I have to go back and reposition them. It seems to happen each time I open labview. Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about. The ones that are in the correct position I already fixed. The "Index for Inc. Px" should be on the blue wire, the "Serial #" on the blue wire and the "Sealed/ATM Conversion" on the orange wire.

Anyone else have this problem?

What version of LV are you using?

Are those free labels hovering above/at wires or are they "wire labels"?

LV 2011. They are wire labels, not free labels.

The VI was developed in LV 2011? Was it developed on the same machine?

If not, what are the differences?

Hm...

 

how big is the block diagram?

Background: The block diagram has a limited size (just as the front panel) where it works correctly. So maybe you left the valid bounds.....

It's pretty large. My resolution is 1920x1080 and I have to scroll vertically.

Then i suggest you to shrink the BD to about 1200x1024. You can use subVIs (hopefully) to make algorithms "to appear smaller" in your main VI.

I am not sure, if this solves your issue, but i know that leaving the bounds of the BD has some weird issues in its backpack.

I'll try that. Thanks for the suggestion Norbert. I didn't realize there are block diagram boundaries and they would cause this issue.

 

Take care

As i said, i cannot garantuee that this changes the issue. But i have never seen this behavior on any other machine.

And i have seen weird (different) things with BD growing too large so i just want to give that a shot.

 

thanks,

Norbert
