Default property node label location?

[chuggins1434]

Is there a way to set the default location of the label on a property node in the block diagaram?   I've searched and found the settings for control terminals, constants, indicators, and "other" in the Tools/Options/Block Diagram Tip Strips and Labeling window.  Seems to me that this should be an "other", but when I set it to Right-Top and do a cleanup on the highlighted selection, LV moves the labels back to the Left Top position.  Might I be missing something or is this just a glitch? (I'm running version 13.0f2)

Thanks!

Clean-up or, Ctrl+U, does not respect your LabVIEW.ini Options for label placement.

(I Know it should....)

Its better to not need clean-up! and wire your code neatly to begin with.

For some odd reason mine does.  I had reset my control terminals label location from Left-Middle to Right-Middle and highlighed that portion and it moved all of the labels from L to R when I did a cleanup.  I didn't like it so I switched the options back to L-M and highlighted them again and did a cleanup, it moved them right back.  It's just the property node lables that will not stay where I put them no matter where I put them.

Hmmm, I use the cleanup button to set labels to the settings I chose all the time.  I have LV 2013, so when I make a subVI from a piece of existing code, the terminal labels in the subVI are always massively screwed up.  I stick em in a one-frame sequence , select the sequence and do a cleanup.  The labels magically go where they belong.

[edit] I have my labels set up as controls to the left, indicators to the right.  (Center, I think.)[/edit]

And... yeah.  If the magic cleanup button makes your code look better, it's probably time to re-think your coding practices.  😉

That gets a Kudos (and possibly an entry to LabVIEW Proverbs)

You can also use the quick drop for that, ctrl+space and then ctrl+T.
