hi all, I need your suggestions about preventing the confliction of working with two PC on the same vi. I built a program and it has a lot of subvis and I have to work with 2 PC. When I detect an error on a subvi or anything else I have to change the subvis and releated things in the same PC by transfering all subvis and vis folder by USB stick. sometimes this causes some error. for instance I could delete some subvis unconsciously. I read about labview project and libraries but any documents are not explanatory. I want to collect all my vis and subvis in a one folder or project. but I really do not know how to do it. And also I want to change subvis or vis in this folder whenever I want. How can I deal with this? Thanks in advance. Regards.

Create a new empty project, save it neer your main VI then the main VI to the project. The project will automatically find all the dependencies of your main VI (subVIs, CTLs, etc...), in the project windows you have a "Files" tab, from here you have a tree that shows you where are all the dependencies of your project. this is really helpfull. If you go back to the "Items" tab, and create a new build sepcification (right clic on the icon) then chose "new >> Source Distribution" you can define an "export" that will include all you source code. Hope this helps

LLB's can only contain classic LabVIEW related files (vi, vit, ctl, ...).

So why exactly are you still insisting on using llb's? Makes no sense to me. 😮

I just tried it. I save all my vis in my USB stick. Thanks.
