Hi,
I have been programming in LV 8.6 for a couple of years on a Windows XP computer. I've recently migrated to Windows 7 and when I open my block diagrams nothing is lined up anymore. I am very careful about keeping clean block diagrams so I like up all text, controls, strings, numbers, etc, but now that I'm in Windows 7 some of the block diagram elements are larger, some are smaller and overall the block diagrams are a mess. Is there any easy way to prevent this from happening? Thanks.

It is due to the system fonts being different on XP (Tahoma) vs. Vista (Segoe UI 9) vs. Win7 (??)
There have been a few threads on this.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like an easy solution.
