Little something I learned today that is pretty common knowledge I'm assuming, but I didn't know about it and have been working with LabVIEW for a couple of years now. Therefore, I assumed some others wouldn't know about it either. While there are wiki's out there that explain this, I know I usually come to these forums before googling so I thought I'd put something here. In a recent project had a very simple action engine that appends update strings in multiple different threads, based on what has happened within the program, and displays them to a user in another thread that is there specifically for front panel updates. However, this action engine was way too clunky and took up too much space on my block diagram for something only having two input terminals, and 1 output terminal. Doing the following cleaned stuff up incredibly, especially in case structures where the only reason they were taking up extra bd space was because of this action engine... First, show your connector panes and make sure your have the bold area around the terminals you want to use. Then make sure you have each of the icons circled in red looking the same (you can do this by selecting one then copying it and pasting it into the other two boxes) after that, voila, add it to your bd. If anyone else has any other tip/tricks for icon editing feel free to add them. Message Edited by for(imstuck) on 02-12-2010 01:44 PM

Make Smaller Icons

Shameful plug for an idea but given the topic matter you may want to vote for this idea: Change Clear Error Icon.

Note that icons don't have to be rectangular.
