is there an easy way to include sub-vi's in project

[dhuff]

I am converting a big VI from 7.1 to 8, and I am looking for a way to easily include the sub-vi's in the project.  I added the top level VI, and I sse the sub vi's in the dependencies, but I can't find an easy way to include the sub vi's in the project. 
Secondly, is there a way to filter the dependencies like we can do on the VI hirerarcy, so I can filter out the VI.lib and controls/typedefs.  That would be helpful to know if the sub vi is included in the project.

Thanks for the help.

Hi dhuff,

Sounds like you want File\Save with Options\Development Distribution.

Note: This will not capture DLLs or dynamically loaded VIs - those called by name using VI server.

uh, sorry, I'll bet this is really a LV8/projects question.

Hi,

I found exactly what you need :

Adding all of a main vi's subvis to a project is accomplished by going through the following steps.

1. Create a new project (File>>New Project or select "Empty Project" from the LabVIEW 8 splash screen).
2. Right click on My Computer and select Add File. Navigate to the top level vi of your program and select Add File.
3. Once the top level vi is added, right click on Dependencies from the Project Explorer and select Refresh. All of the vis that support the main vi will be listed.
   
4. Highlight all of the dependant files and drag and drop them under My Computer
