You can find callers within a project. There is no way to do that outside of a project.

so if I don't have it as "project"(just main .vi) then I can't know what is included?

View>>VI Hierarchy

Play with it some lots of good things to look atSmiley Wink  very nice for finding callees-

 

 Finding all callers takes a different, but simillar, approach

Without a "Project" you need some other structure that holds all your vis so you can browse relationships.  This is commonly called a "Tree.vi" by viewing the heirarchy of  Each Tree.vi (Or, I once saw a "Forest.vi"- it had a lot of Trees in itSmiley Wink) you can find all callers within any "Scope" or "Tree"


"Should be" isn't "Is" -Jay

You need a project if you want to find "callers" of a VI. If you want to see "callees" you can use the view hierarchy.

There's also the Save As... -> Duplicate Hierarchy option, which will copy everything that your VI requires into another directory, maintaining the relative directory structure.
