Thank you
NI explains it better than I could - "You also can add a VI to the project by selecting the VI icon in the upper right corner of a front panel or block diagram window and dragging the icon to the target. When you add a VI to the project, LabVIEW automatically adds its entire hierarchy to the Project Explorer window under Dependencies."

Basically click and drag the icon in the upper right hand corner of the block diagram of the VI you're trying to import, into the dashboard project.

That's exactly right. I'll be updating this for smartdashboard today.


As far as concerns about port numbers go, fovea you're right that only a few ports are allowed during comp. We used 1130, since it's open for sending data from Dashboard to Robot which is exactly what we're doing.
