Edit a .vi within .LLB

[urlmichael]

Hello,

I have a bunch of .VIs in a library that I got from an SDK, and I have to edit a few of the VI's. I can open the VI and view the block diagram, but when I right-click on things or try to edit it, it doesn't let me. Is it possible to make this VI editable?

Here are some more details on the problem.

In a larger program, I call GetTemperature.vi, but within GetTemperature.vi, there is another VI (U32 To Error Code Enum.vi) that is missing because it previously referred to the 64-bit version of "U32 to Error Code Enum.vi". I need to change it to the 32-bit version. I got the 32-bit version from the SDK, but I just need to replace the 64-bit version with the 32-bit version. So, I open up the block diagram and right-click to hit "replace", but all it gives me as an option is "Breakpoint." I can't change any of the wiring, add or remove any functions, or any other kind of editing.

Thanks for the help!

I solved this issue by replacing the whole GetTemperature.vi with one that wasn't messed up, but I'm still interested in how to edit a .vi within a .LLB, and am wondering why I couldn't edit the subVI.

Is the llb marked as read only?

Probably.

Where would I be able to find out if it's read-only?

In Windows Explorer.

If you mean by right-clicking it, going to "Properties", and checking the box, then no, it isn't read-only

Ctrl+I (Vi Properties)

In Windows Explorer, right-click on the llb and select Properties.  There will be a Read-Only check box.  Make sure that is unchecked.
