Did you mean: 

screen position of new sub vi's

Why do my nearly created sub vi's appear 3 metres to the left of the original code, with the controls and indicators spread all over the place?! It takes forever to move all the various loops back to the centre of the screen.

 

(I'm not exagerating about the 3 metres! I use two TFTs and measured the number of screen widths)

Could you please explain the problem you are facing in a better way?

Yes, that should have read "newly created" btw.

 

 

I've got a main VI filling two monitor screens, within that I select some code and create a sub vi. The new sub vi is placed far off to one side of the main code, elongating all of the loops that the sub vi sits in. This means I have to move the sub vi screen-by-screen back to the main code, along with each loop individually (there are five loops) and all the indicators ad controls. I've measured the distance to be about 3 metres away from the main code, so it is no small task to move everything, despite using two monitor screen side-by-side on landscape.

Are you saying you have a block diagram which is spread across two screens?? Smiley Surprised

It's not a sin. .. it's actually about 6 x 6 screens square, that's why I'm breaking it down into subvi's. It needed to be flat to develop the algorithms.
