Hi
J. Bangasser,
When LabVIEW searches for a subVI, it does it in five steps:
- Searches the memory for already open VIs with the same name as the subVI
- Searches the subVIs relative path to the main VI
- Searches next to the main VI (same directory and level)
- Searches all directories that are within the directory of the main VI
- Searches all the "VI Search Paths" specified under "Tools » Options... » Paths" in the given order (from top to bottom)
Notice that the subVIs are not saved with an absolute path, but rather
a relative path to the main VI. This is chosen to make distribution of
VIs with subVIs easier since the absolute paths will always change.
Let me know if this makes any sense in your case, thanks.
Have fun!
