Why can't I send a picture to the back of my diagram?

In retrospect, after Knight Altenbach's comment about debugging nagged me for a while, I think that the bundle/unbundle approach is inadequate for my purpose, since it prevents easy probing. You would have to drop a cluster probe and somehow isolate the particular component you are interested in. It could become a challenge in those diagrams with a lot of pass-through wires...

I would definitely favor Altenbach's suggestion: A better way to define the output of unwired output tunnels although I am not sure how to address the debugging issue: would you drop a probe in the "default" case and have this probe updated as well when debugging, even though this case is never formally visited?

Hey, I've got a really radical idea: Instead of worrying about how to hide wires, how about fixing the design and implementation of your code? It seems to me that the time would be better spent.

Well, I make a point of honor to have at least 10 pass-through wires and 50 cases in my GUI VI, so that's going to be a recurring problem.

So far, I haven't found a way of going around this, but it conforts me to know that others have solved that problem...

BTW, how's my signature?

I do not.  Have you heard the terms "Abstraction" or "Data Hiding"?  You really really don't need those 10 or more pass-through wires (What does the caller do with that data anyway?)

If I have a VISA wire on the top level vi BD, I "Failed"  Get over it  I'd be happy to chat

I really like those wires, as they are a great memory helper. Having parameters hidden in some subVI-ed data container is a sure receipe for me to forget about them next time I come back to my code.

I just hate to have them visually interfering in all cases when I don't need them.
