grid size [VI Editor Options] property

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello Quick question about VI programmatic Editing, specifically the [Editor Options] section.

I have not been able to find the property/method for the block diagram/ front panel 'editor grid size'. In the UI the setting is found on this page:

When working with old code, the first thing I do is up these values to the x86 limit (4095) so I only see the origin X,Y lines and not the fine scale grid*. This afternoon I am looking for a way to Mass Edit a .llb or folder of .VIs with VI editor properties/methods but [A] could not find them myself and [B] Could not find anything online about them.

 

NOTE: This post will be managed, I will post any solutions I find in this section, or after 1 week post what else I tried before giving up.

 

* Why don't I just disable the grid? The origin Lines are very useful for my current project, the grid is not.

Did nothing come up when you were forced to search the forum for this feature?  Because not so long ago I posted the same question.  Turns out I was your XKCD, just not from 2003.

It got no traction so I think someone needs to make an idea exchange idea.  If you make it I'll vote for it...if I make it will you vote for it?

Ah my mistake was searching for 'vi edditor options' and not 'grid' outright, If you make this exchange I can see how you do it and emulate in the future.

 

For everyone else here is an example of the two settings so you see what I mean
