Anchor block diagram to front panel

[Lars-Göran]

It would be nice if it was possible to anchor the block diagram window to the the front panel window, so that they then behaved like a a single window instead when opening, moving or closing them.

Then, when you open many VIs at the same time, it would be easier to arrange the screen layout for a good overview.

This idea is of course only useful for VIs not using to much real estate for the FP or BD.

You can do this with windows tiling if the need is just to see both the windows side by side. If you meant something else please expalin..

I meant that the FP and the BD would become attached to each other and they could be treated as a single window when it comes to moving it around the screen. I also meant that this was a property that could be saved with the VI, so that when it was opened, both the FP and the BD was shown in this attached way.

Perhaps the word "dock" would have better represented what I want than "anchor"?

I could see this become an issue when the Front Panel and Block Diagram as very large or when you start resizing the window independently but I like the idea of them being together for when you have many things opened.
