Just 'Copy-Paste' local variables

Hi
Is it possible to copy-paste a diagram area containing local variables without creating new objects on the interface ?
Thanks
Gregory
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Use control-drag instead of copy and paste.
Use your mouse to select the item(s) to be copied.
Hold down the control (Ctrl) key and drag the item(s) to the new location.
If you also hold the Shift key down during the move - the items stay aligned.
To move the item(s) to another diagram you don't even have to hold the shift key down.

Having Trouble Copy and Pasteing Local Variable in LabVIEW 2010

I am Having Trouble Copy and Pasteing Local Variable in LabVIEW 2010 in s subVI.
I have a VI that has a Local Variable called "Node Addr". I can select it OK, and it appears to Copy OK, But when I go to paste it, nothing appears. It doesn't matter if I use Cntrl-C Cntrl-V or the Copy and Paste from the Edit menu, I get the same results. I tried many times and got the same results. I made sure that I had click a paste location. I can insert the Local Variable if I use the Data Communication panel.
On one of the Paste, I got an error in the error list that said that a Local Variable was not connected to anything. When I clicked on the error, it took me to an insible item in the lower right corner of the block diagram that had nothing but a select box around it. I couldn't select the invisible item, but I could delete it.
Why does the copy and paste of this local variable not work?
Why does the paste cause the insertion of an invisible item?

My VI is fairly complicated. In several places in the VI, I am either reading or writing to this variable which is an numeric Indicator on the Front Panel. Using local variables seems to be the best way to handle this situation rather that using wiring all over the VI. Since the VI is mainly a State Machine and there are only 2 Writes to the local variable, I am not afraid of race conditions in this case. NO!! While you may think that using Locals is your solution to wiring, it is not! The fact that you are writing and reading, most likely from several places, will most definitely contribute to a race condition. Depending on your implemetation, you should ALWAYS use wires. The wires are the variable. If you are using a loop (While, For), then using shift registers are appropriate means for routing values so that they are used by other sections of the code, later. One thing you must respect with LabVIEW is the dataflow. That's where Locals often fail.
I am not copying the Local Variable from one VI to another.
I am not copying the Local Variable from one VI to another.
The Data Communication panel is one of the panels that shows up in the Functions pop up list when editing the Block Diagram. It is the panel that includes the Local Variable function.
I don't know if the invisible item that was inserted in my block diagram was hidden or not. All I know is that the Errors List said that it was a Local Variable and that it was not connected to anything. I couldn't select it to get more information. All I could do was delete it.
You did not address my questions about why the Copy and Paste does not work properly for my Local Variable. Maybe it's a sign from the Software Gods not to use them LOL!..
So if I understand correctly, you are trying to copy & paste the Local Variable from within the same VI. How large is your block diagram? Did you try right-click on the variable and select "Find > Local Variables"? If it's a block diagram larger than 1 single screen (which it shouldn't), then it is possible that the Local is hiding beyond the screen. You should find it as I described earlier.
See my comments in red above.

Copy Paste Query Variable

Hi,
(1) Can we copy n paste query variable which is difined using customer exit???
(2) can we change description of the variable only for a particular query? Only for a particular query that description should appear n it should not appear for rest of the queries wherever that variable is used...
Thanks,
Geetanjali

1. You can have only one variable technical names, you can't copy and past it, you have to define another one.
2. And also you can't change the discription of the variable for only one query without affecting the others.
too bad, both are no.
thanks.

Linked picture gets smaller than its original size when it's copy-pasted.

This confuses me because some does and some doesn't. A picture always gets smaller when I copy-paste from Mspaint. And some pictures does this too when I just copy-paste itself. So, I need to adjust size manually and it really bothers me, is there any solution for this?

Some application disply images pixel by pixel, that is: one pixel in the image is one pixel on the monitor. Illustrator uses the image's resolution to display it.

Copy paste video edit to another drive

In windows I was able to just copy-paste to another drive to temp save it..How is it dome in Mac
..I have it on 1 500gb and ant to send it to a 750gb..
will the video be intact and can I access it from my software from either drive?
Thanks for any help

in addition to dragging you can copy/paste in exactly the same way as in windows. select the video file in finder and enter command+C. then go to the directory where you want to paste it to and enter command+V.

How do I pass a local variable as a parameter to a JSP Tag File?

I wrote a custom JSP tag file, and I want to pass a local variable to it through a parameter, like this:
<% Integer someValue = new Integer(-5); %>
<my:TestTag value="someValue"/>
This doesn't work though - the result is the string someValue. Trying to do this doesn't work either:
<% Integer someValue = new Integer(-5); %>
<my:TestTag value="someValue"/>
the value attribute ends up being null.
I know I can work arount by putting the local variable in the request attributes then using ${}, but that seems like a lot of unecessary work. Does anyone know I can just pass a local variable to the custom tag through the custom tags parameter list?

I'm far from beeing an expert, but this may be a clue (?)
Basically, the rule is: everything you want to be considerred as Java must be in a
JSP tag.
As an example, think of how you would do to pass the litteral string "someValue" otherwise. Then you may imagine other related issues...

Notofication, local variable which one is moe effective

Hi, I want to pass one variable from Loop A to Loop B, I am wonder which one is more effective, Notification or local variabe?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, they both are just as effective. If it is just a one way path from loop A to loop B you can just use a local variable but you could run into issues if you need all the data. If the writer loop writes the local then it has no way of knowing if the other loop has already read it so it will overwrite it. Also the receiving loop has no way of knowing if the data has been updated. If the receiving loop only needs the most recent value then you can get away with a local. But you have to continuously read from it whereas with a notifier you can just "wake up" the receiver loop when the value is written.

Copy paste SMS

Hi
can anyone help me
i want to transfer SMS on nokia 73 memory card to 5800 XM memory card---with out using PC suite i need just copy paste them....................
plz
thanx

By default sms are stored in phone's built-in memory not on a memory card, so my guess is that you want to transfer all your sms from one phone to another is that correct?
If you had your sms on a memory card you would just need to remove the memory card from the N73 and insert it into your 5800 but i'm not sure if both phones (S60 v3 vs v5) store sms in the same folders/files.
Thank you for clicking on the Green button with the white Star for Kudos!!

Leigh

Hi Demo,
Yes, I have not made myself clear, I apologise.
I have tried downloading apps from itunes in order to set up a game for my son, when I go to click on a link, be this in itunes, or on the web, Safari revolts back informing the address is invalid. I read by coping a link and pasting into the URL, this would do it, but not so.
My goal then, is to install Minecraft for my son, I would then download an app to allow this but I am unable to get this far due to Safari insulting the address I ask it to go to
The iPad is first generation
OS 5.1.1 Software up to date.
Thank you in advance for your time

Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically? I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail. Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically? I've tried PDF and Word, but PDF worked only in Mail. Word worked in nothing. I also tried copying and pasting the document but lost all formatting when just copied and pasted in email. Is there a way to do this?

Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?

Copy-paste values from excel sheet into variable screen of SAP BI 7.0 query

Hello
Report has selection by material in the variable screen. Users would like to to run a report for a set of materials (100+ items). He wants to copy-paste materials into material variable to avoid manual entry.
I know its impossible. Are thee any ways to allow user not to enter this materials manually and run the report.
Set of materials can change over the time.
Thanks

Hi,
You might want to try with a text file (.txt).. place all the 100+ values into a text file.. like the notepad.. make sure you have only one column with all these number.. no headers or no blank spaces in the beginning..
then, in the variable (variable should have been defined as "select options" or "multiple single values"), if you can go the screen where we can make multiple entries, we will have an option to import from a file.. and select the text file you have created above.. then all the 100+ values will be imported..
we do this all the time..

IWORK 09-NUMBERS -HOW TO COPY AND PASTE A VARIABLE TO CELLS IN OTHER SHEETS

IN EXCEL I USED COPY IN THE CEL WITH THE VARIABLE AND THEN" PASTE SPECIAL" IN THE OTHER CELLS.WHEN CHANGING THE VARIABLE ALL THE OTHER CELLS TOOK OVER THIS VALUE AND USED IT IN FORMULAS.
IS THERE ANY METHOD IN NUMBERS TO DO THE SAME ?

This thread provides an excellent example of the need to clarify the question before jumping in with an answer.
There's also some misinformation in the post quoted below. The rest of this post addresses ONLY the specific post below, NOT the original question.
Hwoodwriter wrote:
This is annoying. A work around I found is to make the cells absolute so that the referenced cells do not move when you paste.
I don't see this as a 'workaround,' but as the manner in which Copy Paste is designed to work. If you Cell addresses are considered as 'cell locations relative to the current cell' unless the reference is specified as being an absolute address. If you want to Copy & Paste a formula to a different cell and have the pasted formula use the same referenced cells as the original, you can select and copy the formula from the Formula Bar at the top. This copies the formula as text, which remains the same wherever you paste it.
So if your formula refers to cell B1+B2 and you copy it and paste one cell down your formula then reads C1+C2. To keep your formula always pointed to B1 and B2 it needs to be absolute. $B$1+$B$2. This way you can copy and paste your formula without changing the reference points.
Actually if you copy the cell containing =B1+B2, then paste it one cell right, the formula in the new cell will be =C1+C2.
if you copy the cell containing =B1+B2, then paste it one cell down, the formula in the new cell will be =B2+B3.
Once copied and pasted you can go to the formula bar at the top highlight the cell reference and simply click on the cell you want referenced.
$B$1+$B$2 highlight a cell reference then click on new cell to make formula read $B$1+C2 then change C2 to be absolute if you want.
You will see a small arrow drop down when you cross the cell reference on the right side to change absolute or relative values. Time consuming and frustrating I know.
Time consuming, yes. But what's consuming the time is translating the vertical movement (down) of the formula to a horizontal movement (right- from B2 to C2) of the formula's cell reference. Relative cell references move the reference in the same direction as the formula is moved.

Barry

Cannot insert field or paste in existing Local Variable (container of booleans)

Cannot insert field or paste in existing Local Variable (container of booleans)... TestStand 4.1.
This is very strange, especially since I have done it before.
The "paste" and "insert field" selections are greyed out and disabled from the right-click menu. I have tried everything I could imagine, and searched various combinations of posts. I am sure it is something redicoulously simple, bu I cannot find the redicule to solve this annoying issue.
The local variable is a container of booleans. It has 90 elements and I need to add one more. I cannot edit / rename or do anything with this Local. Must be karma (for thos who know me in the LabVIEW forum). Usually, you right click, insert field and it's there.. Not this one..
Has anyone seen this before? Closing and re-opening TestStand did not change anything. There is a matching cluster in LabVIEW which feeds the local in TestStand.
It is a container of custm data type. The Edit Flags are ok (edit is allowed). Can't think of any other valuable info..
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I should correct an erratum in my original post..
Since I am not the original author of the code, I am not sure it is a custom container. As a matter of fact, I don't think it is.
It does not appear in the custom data types. So it must be a Local.
I will attempt to clarify what I am dealing with... (TestStand 4.1)
Maybe pictures are worth thousands of words.
As with typical TestStand projects, there are various variables: Locals, Parameters, FileGlobals, etc.. Nothing odd here.
The one I am concerned about is the Options_Present which is a container of booleans.
I am sure I have edited this one before. Although I seem to recall that it was automatic after changing the cluster in LabVIEW.
Within the Locals, the 2 that are underligned in red do not allow to edit anything (change name, add, delete, paste).
Trying to Insert Field or paste are not possible.

I can't seem to copy & paste while I am using Firefox; but I can with Internet Explorer. What am I doing wrong? I guess I just don't understand how to do it.

I am working in Ancestry.com. If I am in Internet Explorer, I can copy a picture & then paste it in my pictures, on my computer. If I am using Firefox, I don't understand which things to do to copy & then paste a picture, like I can in Internet Explorer. I prefer to use Firefox, but need to be able to use this copy & paste feature, often. I just downloaded Firefox, & started using it, again, yesterday. I just got a new computer in June.

When you run out of keyboard short cuts, enter the addtional names in the name field in the keyword editor. That will start a new Keyword Collection. You can apply the addtional keywords to multiple cllips on the event browser. Or you can drag the clips into the Collection in the Event Library.

How to observe Copy&Paste ?( not just AddToHierarchy)

Hello!
I need to observe Copy&Paste event.
The approach with Doc Observer attached ( protocol IID_IHIERARCHY_DOCUMENT) gives me ability to catch
theChange = kNewPageItemCmdBoss and AddToHierarchyCmdBoss.
My problem is that this events occur also on another use cases then Copy&Paste ( for example - just create Frame).
But i need to perform some custom action ONLY if Copy&Paste ( of Frames) occur.
( actually, i need Paste event )
How can i do this ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

No, there isn't any way to hook these events.
And even if you could, would it be for ALL copy/paste operations, only for some, for certainly data types? I would recommend that you look at simply hooking the standard OS clipboard/scrap operations.
