Saving VIs in Existing Libraries

You can save a new VI in an existing library just as if it were a directory.

Complete the following steps to save a VI in an existing library.

  1. Select File»Save to display the Name the VI dialog box.

    Macintosh If you use native file dialog boxes, click the Use LLBs button before you select a VI library.
  2. Navigate to the library where you want to save the VI. The name of the library with the .llb extension appears in the Name the VI dialog box.
  3. Double-click the name of the library file or click the Save button to open the file dialog box.
  4. Enter the VI name and click the OK button.
Note  Do not save your VIs in the vi.lib directory in your LabVIEW directory. National Instruments updates this directory as needed during new version releases of LabVIEW. Placing VIs in vi.lib risks creating a conflict during future installations. Refer to Creating and Editing a Palette View for more information about displaying your VIs on the Functions palette.
