Since I'm running out of shortcuts, I like to merge VIs.

Might I suggest a vote for this idea?

Care to share how you know that it utilizes global data methods?

By now it's no secret that there are ways around the password protection. It should come as no surprise that some people go digging into the NI VIs.

Thanks. Another useful shortcut. I have only just started using it.

1. The link mentioned in the first comment, namely http://www.ni.com/webcast/3311/en/ , does not work anymore. It is a valid link, but it does not point to a video.

2. For anyone new to this shortcut (like myself), please note that the shortcut is now included in LabVIEW. So there is no need to download the VI Server Rename.vi at the beginning of this thread. The VI already exists in vi.lib in recent LabVIEW versions.

Thanks, Petru. I added a note to the main post about this plugin only applying to LabVIEW 2014. I also fixed the video link to point to a recording of my presentation on YouTube.
