Re-use of a selection of VIs within an LLB or project

Status: Declined

Any idea that has not received any kudos within a year after posting will be automatically declined. 

It would be useful to be able to create a new project containing just a selection of VIs, without having to either:

1. Copy all of the VIs and just use the ones that are necessary - this is very wasteful of disk space

2. Manually go through the hierarchy view looking for and noting the names of the VIs, globals etc and then copying them into a new project area - this is very costly as it takes a long time.

 

It would be great to be able to select a VI to clone, show the hierarchy and then say right click on the top level VI and have the option to CREATE A NEW PROJECT BASED ON THIS HIERARCHY. Even better would be the additional option to deselect any VIs that you know are not needed, before creating the new project
