Hotkey vs. VI scripting cleanup differences?

[1984]

Hi. I have fair amount of VIs, I need to clean up. The BDs are small and the automatic cleanup (ctrl+u) gives surprisingly good results so I wanted to automate the process using VI scripting like this:

To my surprise the scripting method and the ctrl+u hotkey produces a different result:

Scripting:

Ctrl+U

I have the feeling that the scripting ignores the cleanup settings in the options menu... wondering if anybody has an idea how to fix this. (besides simulating keypresses, which I'd rather no going into)

thx!

Hi,

The TopLevelDiagram class has a cleanup method that takes options:

These are not exactly the same as in the LabVIEW options, so you'll have to figure out their values.

Thanks mate!

Just a little help to "figure out" the LabVIEW settings:

• Use the library located here to read the LabVIEW INI C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2021\resource\dialog\lvconfig.llb
• Check the LabVIEW INI for the tokens. Unfortunately I could not find a documentation of the tokens, but look for ones beginning with autoLayout. They should be self explanatory with that cluster.
