The ability to move or switch items in the connector pane

Status: Completed

Available in LabVIEW 2010 and later. Click a terminal in the connector pane, then Ctrl-Click another terminal to swap the controls/indicators wired to those terminals. This technique also works to swap a wired terminal with an empty terminal.

A great time saver would be if we could drag or click to switch connections directly in the connector pane instead of having to disconnect and reconnect controls.

 

This can be a simple two click process:

If there's already another control\indicator where you click, they get switched.

Hmm, I must be missing something. I have LabVIEW 2010, and this doesn't seem to be working for me. I made a simple VI with a couple controls and error clusters. I originally put the error out in the middle instead of Lower Right.  After saving the VI, I click on the error out connector terminal, position [2] adn then click the lower right terminal and no change. If I click error out's terminal, then the boolean, no swap.  Is this really in 2010, or did you mean 2011 when it comes out?

Oops, disregard my post above, I didn't know about the Ctrl-Mouse click requirement. Works fine now.
