Printing a legend

[Sekutma]

I am looking for a print-friendly legend to use as a resource.  I have started working on a project that is very far along and I do not have the original author to help.  If I had a few reference pages I can print to help with following the block diagrams it will lesson the slope of what is steep learning curve.  I have not found anything like this on the website so if somebody could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it!

What is the problem with the context help? Turn it on and the help window displays function information.

That does help alot but me and coworker are rather new to labview.  We printed off the entire block diagram and pieced it together on a board to help us follow the big picture.  A legend would help us with some of the more obscure icons.

If you turn on the labels of all sub-vi's you'll see their names, that should help. You could make a small vi that runs through all vi's and turn on labels, then print it.

If the block diagram is bigger than a single screen, you are entitled to track down the original programmer and beat him/her with a wet noodle.

Quite frankly, I think paper copies of a block diagram are a waste of time and effort. Once upon a time, there was a printed manual. It was quite large and if you didn't know what a function was, it would take forever to page through it to find a function. Do you really want a printed document hundreds of pages long?

No, hundreds of pages is not desirable.  However the previous idea sounds better.

Thanks everybody, context help is still the best solution so far.
