sub vi connection

[adamsdaq]

I am using LabVIEW 11.0 version and I am starting to think this may be more of a bug, but wondering if there is something I am doing wrong first?

From time to time I will connect an item from the front panel to the  VI connection block. Then I save the program and go to place it as a subvi and the linkage no longer works.

See the 2 photos below for a better explanation. In the first photo, I have zoomed in on the connection diagram and you can easily see I have selected the "Channel Chosen" String indicator to be wired out in a higher level program. in the second picture you can see that the new connection never appears when I go to run it as a sub VI. Any ideas what is happenening here. From time to time I have had to undo all connections in the connector block and redo them. Other times I actually have to change the shape of the connector block and redo and then it seems to take. Is this a bug in the LabVIEW 11.0 code or am I missing something.

Lastly I do apologize for the big black boxes but I have censored anything that may remotely be considered company proprietary.

Sorry, no attachments. It would be far better to post your code than simply posting pictures. Either way, you didn't include anything.

Sorry I thought the pictures were posted, this doesn't appear to be an issue with code on my end so much as it would either appear to be a bug or me not knowing how to properly update the icon linkages. It has happened to me a few times before. Usually it occurs when editing existing SubVI's

[Mark_Yedinak]

Are you working within a project? Is it possible you have more than one copy of the Channel Config VI on your system and you have a cross link issue?

[adamsdaq]

I don't think that is the issue, as to edit the channel config sub vi all I do is double click and open that particular one. So I am quite certain I am changing the correct one. This is not the first time something like this has happened to me.

Actually, this is a known issue R&D did some work on.  I don't recall if SP1 fixed it but 2012 does not have this feature

Thanks Jeff, glad to know this is a known issue, is there any known workaround or way to refresh it that doesn't involve wiping clean my entire connection diagram and starting over. As for 2012, yea I put in for it but the company was too cheap!

Thanks,

Adam

saving closing and reopening the file usually does the trick

I have seen this issue with 2011 SP1.  Have not worked with 2012 enough to actually say anything.
