Locate a SubVI in messy State Machine

[hering]

Hi there,

I inherited a rather large state machine with an enormous number of states and SubVIs. It would help a lot, if there where a function in Labview to find the exact location(s) of a SubVi in the block diagram. Is there such a function in Labview?

Thanks for your help!

You can use the Find tool (Ctrl + F) on the calling block diagram and search for object => VI.

EDIT: You can find the caller(s) of a specific subVI in your project by right clicking it in the project item view and select Find => Callers.

Alternatively, open the VI Hierarchy (View), look for your VI you are searching, right click it and select "Find All Instances".

Thanks Norbert. That is exactly what I was looking for!
