Multiple Windows

I would like to have multiple windows for the same VI available for LabVIEW. One example of this is in onenote. If you hit 'control M', another window pop's up and you can edit, drag and drop, etc, both tied to the core file. This would be useful for debugging, coping code to a different case, etc.

ErnieH: I too have wished for this, but I've never gotten much traction among other G users when I've floated the idea. I'm happy to be your lone kudos, though. 🙂

Like the idea. When "Highlight Execution" is turned on in a VI with a code that exceeds the screen size this idea can be very useful. Moving the BD to see hidden code frequently erases the highlighted values. Using this idea the programmer could open couple windows showing only crucial code to debug.
