Is there a tool to export the documentation of all VI inside a LabVIEW-project?

Hello,
 
I am looking for a tool to export the documentation of all VIs inside a LabVIEW-project or a .llb?
 
Does anybody know something?

I wrote one once.

It searched a LLB for a top-level vi and then exported front panel, block diagram (including all case states) for ALL sub-vis.

It also did a bit of HTML parsing to actually link the pictures of the different sub-VIs to the respective HTML pages.  All in all it was pretty cool, but I think later versions of LV can do this, no?  I wrote it in LV 6.1.  The code was ugly but it worked.

Have you looked under "Print" and include the entire heirarchy and then at the end of the exercise, choose the format you require.....

Hi,

I try to print the whole hierarchie the point is I don't get all the VIs in my project at the same time - I am using 7 .llb and there are not all related together.

May be can you send your LV6.1 VI to export documentation, so that I can see how it works and eventually adapt it to LV8?

I would post it, but it's property of a previous employer.....

Why do you have all your VIs in different LLBs?

Why not save them all to the same LLB simply for exporting the documentation?

Do you have different top-level VIs which are independent of each other?

If yo, I think you need also documentation for each one seperately.....
