how to create custom project in LabVIEW 8

[Tushar_Jambhekar]

We can create VIs from the template in similar fashion i want to create a perticular folder hierarchy and copy some common VIs in perticular locations when i create  a new project. as in 7.1(or even in 😎 we had option to create blank VI or VI from template, is there any option to blank project or project from template.

If this feature is not readily available then can i develop a tool which can do the job? How?

You can only create an empty project.

Since the project file is a simple XML-File you can create templates for some sorts of projects. You are able to create a VI which will allow you to manage template projects. I don't know if you can integrate this into the "Getting started" window of LV.

Hello!

You can do more than just creating a blank project with the VI server -- check out the example "Add files to project" from the NI Example Finder (help->find examples->new to lv 8->general).  The other post was correct though -- it is just an XML file that you can manipulate how you choose.

Hope it helps!
