How to search for a specific LabVIEW native in all the VIs in a project

[Mark_L]

I need to search for all instances of a native VI in a project.  In my case it is Rotate 1D Array.  At present when I search not all instances are found.   Is there a setting that I am missing.

You're searching for text. On the top of the find dialog (Ctrl+F) is a radio box for switching to objects search, which includes the primitives.

Also, a useful shortcut is to simply select the relevant object somewhere in your code and then press Ctrl+F, which will already select the object you selected in the dialog.

In any case, note that the search is performed on the VIs that are loaded, not on the VIs which are in the project, so if you have dynamically loaded VIs and they're not loaded (through a calling VI or by being in a class, which loads all its VIs), those VIs will not be searched.

Excellent. Thank you.  It works.  It must have been a while since I used it that way as it sounds vaguely familiar now.
