LabVIEW NXG features that we might missed in LabVIEW 2021

Status: New

Since LabVIEW 2021 is announced that will adopt the advantage features of NXG, I expect some thing like:

- In NXG we could dock constants to functions & nodes. hope can also be in LabVIEW 

- In NXG we could also reduce space of block diagram by (Ctrl + mouse click & move up/left) while Down/right is to extend the space. In LabVIEW still couldn't reduce the space. all mouse direction are extending the space.

- provide unplaced terminal, controls and/or indicator pallet, is very use full.

- zoom in/out, I've no Idea why NXG can while LabVIEW can't.

- Docked constants:  I was not a fan.  But to each their own.

- Reducing block diagram space:  Ctrl+Alt+Drag has been in LabVIEW for some time now.

- Unplaced Terminal palette: I did like this.  So hopefully NI can figure that out.

- Zoom: LabVIEW still uses bitmap graphics while NXG was built with vector graphics.  That is why LabVIEW cannot currently zoom while NXG could.  https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Add-a-zoom-function-yes-I-said-zoom-So-sue-me/idi-p/9...

What.......😮

Ctrl+alt+Drag 🙈 is indeed works to reduce space in block diagram as well as in front panel.
And I didn't realize it so far.

 

by the way, thank you for your valuable Comment
