Error Wire Feature

Status: New

Hello NI,

I am thinking of a feature that if I hold a certain key such as CTRL and then move a vi that has error in/out wire in it, it will automatically snap to the error line that gets close to it such that the feature will automatically connect the moved vi in between the error wire it is closed to. This will cut the error line and insert the error in and out of the vi that gets close to it. Thus a person will not need to do the following steps:

1) click to error line, then click to input of the error wire of the vi.
2) click to error line again, then click to output of the error wire of the vi..
3) click the unwanted wire/broken path and delete.

Regards,
Mark J.

+1. Would be a super useful feature. Of course, the Ctrl + I QuickDrop shortcut to insert a VI into a wire, including an error wire, already exists, but your idea would make this very common action even quicker.
