The File menu contains items used for basic file operations, such as opening, closing, saving, and printing files.
New VI creates a new VI.
New displays a dialog box you can use to create different components in LabVIEW that help you build an application. You also can create a new template or create a new component based on a template.
Open displays a standard file dialog box you can use to browse for and open a file.
When you open a template (.vit or .ctt), LabVIEW retains the template file extension when you save the file. Use the Start from template option in the New dialog box to create a new VI, control, or global variable based on an existing template.
Close closes the current file. A confirmation dialog box prompts you to save any changes you have made to the VI or file.
Close All closes all open files.
Save saves the current file. If you are saving a new file for the first time, a dialog box prompts you to name the file and determine its location.
Save As allows you to save the current file with a different name, file type, or to a different location.
Save All saves all open files.
Save with Options displays a dialog box you can use to save VIs using various options.
Revert discards any changes you made since the last time you saved the file.
Page Setup displays a dialog box you can use to customize the printer settings and modify how your VI's documentation is output, either to file or to a printer.
Print displays a dialog box that guides you though several options for printing documentation either to a file or to a printer.
Print Window displays a dialog box you can use to print the current front panel or block diagram window.
VI Properties displays a dialog box you can use to set general options and to set or view currently selected options for memory usage, documentation, revision history, security, window appearance, window size, execution, and printing.
Recently Opened Files allows you to open the most recently opened files.
Exit quits LabVIEW. A dialog box prompts you to save any changes you made to any open files before the application terminates.
