If your code is expanding past a reasonable screen size, then you probably need to start creating your own sub-vi's.

Look at your code and see where you have duplicated code that just varies by a specific parameter (eg a pair of motor drives).

Take that code, select the common parts and then use EDIT/Create SubVI.

The code will cet condensed out into a sepparate file and all the wires that passed into the selected area will become connections on the new VI. Double click it and you will see the extracted code. DO a "Save as" and give it a good name. On the Front panel, double click the icon (top right corner) and edit you own graphic.

Now, go back to the main block diagram and replace the other instances of that code with your own VI. Once you build your own VI, you'll never look back
