cluster element labels

[PaulG.]

This is cosmetic and trivial, but it's driving me crazy! Of course, when I create this typdef all the labels are neat and aligned. But if I place it into a VI, save the VI, then come back to the VI the labels on the control look like this. When I go back to the .ctl it looks like this as well. The only thing I'm doing out of the ordinary is changing the text to bold before I save it. Could this be responsible for this behavior and how can I stop it? Thanks in advance.

I would make sure that all text lables are sized to text. Make sure that you do not have spaces that you do not see. Make sure your alignment is the same for all of these (it will matter even if you think it shouldn't). Make it bold then align it and save it.

Could you post it so that we can look at it. It would be better then guessing at it.

Just thinking out loud (did not try it).

What if you change the type def to strict, apply changes, change back to non-strict and save again.

My typedef is fine and stays that way. But I'm still having trouble with label alignment when the control appears on a subVI. I need to investigate this a little further.
