File»Save Project As

Use the Save As command to write the file to disk using a new name you specify.

Saving .uir Files in Earlier Versions of LabWindows/CVI

The Save as type option contains the following formats:

• LabWindows/CVI 7.1 User Interface (*.uir)
• LabWindows/CVI 8.0–8.1 User Interface (*.uir)
• LabWindows/CVI 8.5–9.0 User Interface (*.uir)
• LabWindows/CVI 2009 User Interface (*.uir)
• LabWindows/CVI 2010 User Interface (*.uir)
• LabWindows/CVI 2012 User Interface (*.uir)
• LabWindows/CVI 2013 User Interface (*.uir)

When you choose a particular format in which to save a .uir file, you can open that file in any version of LabWindows/CVI that is the same version or later than the format in which you saved the .uir.

Nearly every release of LabWindows/CVI introduces user interface features. When you select a version from the Save as type option that did not include user interface features on the .uir you are saving, LabWindows/CVI displays a list of items that it did not save and removes those user interface features that were introduced in later versions.

LabWindows/CVI displays messages for the following user interface features:

• Tab controls
• Controls that use the int64 data type
• Panels contained in tab controls
• Menu item image
• Menu bar font information
• Control arrays
• Attributes for the top x-axis
• Trace opacity
• Plot visibility in the graph legend
• Strip chart auto-scaling
• Attributes for the right y-axis
• Image alpha channel
• Tree cell array attributes
• Control tooltip data
• Annotation data
• Color ramp data
• Table row/column offset
• Table row/column visibility
• Sweep line color
• Grid line style

Caution  If you attempt to open a .uir file you saved in a later format in an earlier version of LabWindows/CVI, you might experience unexpected behavior, including a program crash.
