missing objects - block diagram

[MargheTB]

no, I don't think so... I haven't pasted anything, and however this is not the only part in the code that is missing, but it's the one that I've to modify!

it's really strange, because everything was fine until few days ago (except for one sub-vi that I could not see, but I could see the wires going inside it), but then some other parts of the code disapperared.

Thanks!

Hi Marghe,

so we are talking now for 12 messages about some VIs - and all we see until now are some JPGs is a single JPG...

Why don't you attach the VI?

[MargheTB]

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I cannot post the whole VI because it's really huge... It's a program that has to control several things (motors, adc card,...) and has a lot of sub-vi. but still the problem is only in the main Vi.

and however I didn't even think to post the Vi, because I thought that maybe it could be for example just an option or something like this that Hides stuff when there are too many objects, because the program it's working perfectly (even if labview is a little bit slower than before)!

but however if you need more information or other images please ask! the problem is that I don't really know what can be usefull or not and I don't want to put too many stuff, otherwise it will be difficult to understand.

Thanks 

Bye

Hi Marghe,

if your VI blockdiagram really is huge then that might be the very problem.

LabVIEW gets in trouble when the BD is larger than 16k pixel. Calling the cleanup button doesn't help then either...

[MargheTB]

It's huge in the sense that has a lot of cases, sub Vis...

How can I see if it's more than 16k pixel? If it is, can you suggest me a way to decrease it?

is there a way to show this "hidden"elements?

thanks!

bye!

Hi Marghe,

"How can I see if it's more than 16k pixel?"

Ctrl-Shift-N shows the navigation window. Compare the size of the overall BD with the visible part (shown as white rectangle)

"If it is, can you suggest me a way to decrease it?"

Make more subVIs...

"is there a way to show this "hidden"elements?"

Has been said before: double-click the FP elements to find them in the BD...

Did you check the structures for "increase size automatically" (by right-clicking them)?
