I wrote a nugget a while back about Place VI Contents VIs. In that nugget thread, Jarrod S. posted a utility that was so cool, I'm writing a whole separate nugget about it today. He posted a Quick Drop Keyboard Shortcut for automatically creating Place VI Contents VIs. I created a document in the Quick Drop Enthusiasts group that contains his shortcut here:
Quick Drop Keyboard Shortcut - Create Place VI Contents VI (LabVIEW 2009 and later)
What Jarrod has done here is create a utility that makes it very easy to automatically create Place VI Contents VIs and have them immediately available on the palettes or in Quick Drop. If you find yourself creating the same snippets of code over and over, or even using "Select a VI..." from the palettes or Quick Drop and picking the same VIs over and over, then you definitely need this utility. All you need to do is select the part of your diagram that you want easy access to (even just a single VI), press Ctrl-Space-Ctrl-Shift-G, type a descriptive name of that code, and now you can drop that code selection directly from the palettes or Quick Drop.
