Open Block Diagram in Subpanel

[Sima]

Yes, this has halted our upgrade to LV 8.6 since we use a lot of subpanels in our large projects, too. Unfortunately, we won't be able to benefit from other fixes in LV 8.6.

HI Andrew,

Could you please post the CAR#  So I can track it?

Thank you!

How do you track a CAR?

There are two ways of answering that Q.

1) When you have a CAR# you can contact NI Support or your local rep and ask them to update you on the CAR#. They will provide whatever info they can.

2) The Champion's Way

a) Post half a zillion replies to one of the public forums

b) Apply to be LabVIEW Champion

c) Apply again next year

d) Repeat step a-c until you become accepted.

e) Sign a super-secret NDA agreement to the rights of your first born

f) Get chummy with the head of LV R&D

g) Ask him for an update (in which case I get the same info that is available using method #1 but LabVIEW Champions have the opertunity to influence (NOT control) the priority assigned to a bug)

You can also do what my boss is talking about, and start to look at other programming packs and try to move away from labview completely.

OK. I was aware of being able to call NI support. I thought there might be something online. I'm not a LabVIEW Champion so I'll stick to dialing for now

Hello Everyone,

NI has identified 2 workarounds for this known issue. See AE KB 4TRDL561: "Open Block Diagram" Does Nothing in LabVIEW 8.6 Subpanel Control.

The Corrective Action Request (CAR) number is 124113.

Feel free to contact NI Support to track the status of the CAR. Ben, thank you for the step-by-step instructions 🙂

Cheers,

Hi, I agree with Cepera. I'm using subpanels and embedded VIs. I upgraded my project from Labview 8.5 to Labview 8.6 and now I am unable to open block diagrams with a simple right click while running. I can not debug my application anymore. I will now have to downgrade to Labview 8.5. What a loss of time.

What a mistake in your release! It is not a simple little problem, it is a big issue having many implications in my development. I'm really not happy with that.

 The workaround is not convenient, particularly for a large number of subpanels. If you don't know that there is a problem or where the problem is yet, you'd have modify your code, open up multiple subpanels in advance, then invoke the run method for the subpanels. This needs a fix fast.
