I've been experimenting with turning AF into a PPL and replacing Actor Framework.lvlib with the .lvlibp version. One thing I noticed when I tried it that I hadn't thought about was AF Debug.lvlib. Replacing the library with packed libary in a project will also replace the dependencies in AF Debug.lvlib.
Since AF Debug.lvlib and Actor Framework.lvlib have direct dependencies, have others just included the AF Debug in their PPL for AF?

Yes, we created a ppl with AF Debug included.

I knew, I missed further details....
Thanks Stefan!

The actor framework project provider supports PPL as explained in this post.
But if you want to create a project from your own template using an actor PPL make sure the PPL is in the user.lib. Otherwise the new project might be linked to the wrong actor framework.

I've read that link and many other PPL discussions. My question is more about how to add AF Debug to the packed library and still expose Generate Custom Trace (which is a part of AF Debug.lvlib...and thus not visible in the Actor Framework.lvlibp).

Hi wrkcrw00,
I know that your posting is years-old, but I still get this question quite often, therefore I want to post the answer again, to spread the information.
Firstly, LabVIEW 2019 is shipped with an example project "Actor Framework as Debug PPL.lvproj".
Secondly, as your question was about an older version of LabVIEW:

Thank you for the info. I'm resurrecting the plan to go to PPLs soon. We're trying to get a point with our projects that we can focus on migration into PPLs.
