disable Clean Up Diagram Button

[Mellobuck]

Greetings,

Is is possible to hide or disable the Clean Up Diagram Button, either at the environment level (like a tools setting), or on a VI-by-VI level, like making the run continuously button disappear? Sometimes this functionality can really break a progam, or confuse a programmer.

Regards,

MELLO

Two thoughts (well three actually).

1) Keep the Bd smaller than 572 pixels.

2) Crtl-z to fix it

3) Why am I hearing about this in a posting when my cell phone is till on?

I think I rad about a fix in the most recent service pack for LV 2009 that addresses an issue with block diagram clean-up breaking large diagrams.

Is this 22x26 pixels or 26x22 pixels? 😄

Is a pixel considered a linear dimension or an area dimension?  Is it 572 pixels or 572 square pixels?

But of course those dimentions well achieve the same end.

Thanks guys 🙂

To answer Ben's questions

1) This is inhereted code, already way to big

2) The idea is to keep this function out of the hands of programmers and/or customers who are unfamiliar with the labVIEW environment (but still require unlocked code)

3) It was asked in the middle of class, and I wanted get it out there quickly without making Ben taking a call in the middle of the day, I bother you enough when I am a couple of cubicles away .

Just was curious, it seemed like so many other items like this were switchable (run continuously, auto-grow, auto-wire etc.), then there might be a diable ability.

Oh yes, the questions you get when teaching LV basics. 

Speculating now...

After hearing us users scream for a diagram clean-up function since the begininning of LV time, I guess it never occured to NI that any would not want it and if they had it, why they would not want it.
