Open SubVI from block diagram while code is running

Solved!
Go to solution

Typically you can open the block diagram of a SubVI by just pressing ctrl and double clicking it (on the block diagram of the VI one layer above).

But when the project is currently running a double click will open the front panel, but if you simultaneously press ctrl to get the block diagram you only set a breaking point. It is not such a big deal to first open the front panal and then switching to the block diagram, but still it would be nice to be able to open the block diagram immediately. Is there some way to do this in running mode?

 

Best regards

You can do this if you turn the auto-tool off.  Open the tools palette and if you're selecting anything manually in the first two rows, control-click opens it.  It's only with auto-tool on that control-click inserts a breakpoint instead.

 

If you can't get to the tools palette in the menu while running for whatever reason, or just find it inconvenient, remember that shift-right-click opens it.

Ha, perfect! Thank you very much, that makes it way more convenient 😃

I use the auto-tool a lot, but sometimes it can be annoying...
