Careful! If you create a new Dashboard project in the same directory as your Robot project, LabVIEW will delete all your robot code. You will not get a warning. You will not get told what happened. You won’t find your code in the Recycle Bin. It is just GONE.
This “feature” is new in 2014.
Can confirm.

This was investigated and reported just a few days ago. To be specific, the default locations work fine for the wizard. But if you decide to put your VIs into a specific directory and stuff is already there, it recreates the directory. I don’t know the details about nonLV files in the directory, but would assume it cleans it entirely before copying the files. I highly encourage you to use a subfolder for robot and one for dashboard. If you want, them commingled in one directory, do that by hand.
