Greg,
I'd like to make a suggestion that I think would make editing in LV a little easier.
You see I have this love/hate relationship with the tools pallet. Sometimes I find that the tool auto select feature is very handy and at other times it just drives me nuts. Usually what happens is when I'm simply trying to use the pointer tool to select a vi in order to move or copy it but then milliseconds before I click the mouse I get too close to a terminal and it changes to the wire spool. Now I have to stop what I was trying to do and reach over to the keyboard to hit the escape key to shut off the wiring function. This really disrupts the flow of the work and I hope none of the students hear the comments muttered under my breath. I know I can turn the automatic selection off but then I'm constantly having to manually change tools. There simply has to be a better way of getting the right tool at the right time.
Anyway, one feature I'd like to see is a magnifier/zoom tool to help these 65 year old eyes to better see exactly where the pointer is with respect to the object I'm trying to work on whether it be a vi, a structure or an item on the function pallet. That would really be helpful. Especially on the typical driver station laptop with its dinky 13" screen.
Thanks for your continued support to the teams.
