Re: Clean up tool w/ "Open 4 Motors"

Hello community,
In my daily LabVIEW work we generally don't use the clean-up tool. (Sometimes called the block diagram scrambler, because of the behavior when it was first introduced.) It works fairly well for small amounts of code. So new after a bit of tuning in the options page, I will sometimes use it after creating a new subVI. It helps promote coding standards. It was once used on a very, very large VI, and it was not pretty. (Inadvertently saved too before our use of source control) In the newer versions of LabVIEW this tool has more options. Chunks of code can be excluded from the clean-up, and the clean-up can be done on small selections of code instead of the whole VI. (FRC has stuck to LV 8.6, which excludes the new options.)
