Re: Block diagram expansion criteria

[Jeremy Braden]

Sometimes I have to do it 4 or 5 times before I can get the expansion
to work(that is repeatedly pressing the control and drawing a new
rectagle).  I have come to expect this behavior.  I do not know how to
fix it or whether it is a problem with the OS or LabVIEW.

Thanks for pointing this out.  I'm pretty sure however that it has
something to do with the position of the box or line in relation to
other LabVIEW code or something like that when you're trying to make
the diagram expand outward.

I=92ve had this happen two times.

Once turned out to be an intermittent Ctrl key. The other time I was
using a Keyboard, Video Mouse switchbox to run two PC=92s with one
keyboard, mouse and display. To switch between the two PCs, you could
hit the Ctrl key three times quickly. Somehow that interfered with the
normal use of the Ctrl key, and not just in LabVIEW. I disabled the
Ctrl key switching and fixed that problem.

This may not apply to your situation, but it might be something to
check.

Block diagram expansion criteria

[m3nth]

Sometimes when I hold down Ctrl and drag a box or line on the diagram
in order to expand it, the diagram does not expand.  In the areas
where this happens, sometimes I can do the same thing repeatedly with
no results--there is no expansion of the code.  Does anyone know why
this happens or what the criteria are for it to work?  Where I'm
drawing the box is usually in the midst of code, ie, it is not a
'free' area where there is lots of space, such as within a wide open
do-loop.
