Automaticly wire connection pane for newly created VI's

 

Just seen a demo of LV2011 where the connection pane is automatically wired for created subvis (diagram->selet some stuff->right mouseclick->create subvi).

 

It would be great if there would be a similar function for new created vi's. When you create a front panel, common sense will let you put the indicators and controls in a way you will wire them to the pane. Controls to the left, indicators to the right. Additional parameters in between. And of course only the 4-2-2-4 pane should be used Smiley Wink .

 

The left/right bottom points are only to be used by the error in/out or left empty since at some time they will become error in/out (if you do not already have a quickdrop template for dropping this structure the first thing after clicking 'new vi')

The automatic connector pane wiring was actually one-half of this idea: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Front-Panel-Cleanup-and-Automatic-Connector-Pane-wirin.... Don't know if it's better to split that idea into 2 or to simply log this idea as a duplicate of the other.

I'm going to ask that this be closed as a duplicate of that because I think this idea has too many problems with it to implement in isolation. That one is fleshed out for handling edits where users change their mind, positioning for blank terminals, etc.
