The following items are known issues in LabVIEW NXG 2.1 sorted by Category.
| ID | Known Issue | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Building and Distributing LabVIEW Applications | ||||||
| 685018 Return | Applications built with NXG 2.1 crash without dialogue without the NXG 2.1 Runtime installed With only the NXG 2.0 Runtime, applications built in NXG 2.1 will crash silently and not explain the reason they failed to execute. Workaround: Install the NXG 2.1 Runtime
| |||||
| Controls and Indicators | ||||||
| 482816 Return | Selection in Array of Clusters of Arrays constant loses focus. Selecting an array inside a cluster inside another array loses focus when hovering over another element of the top array. This makes it difficult to edit the items in the inner-most array. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 630075 Return | IO constants cannot be resized when contained within a cluster connected to a G Type. IO constants can be resized manually when contained within a cluster constant. However, IO constants cannot be resized once the containing cluster is connected to a G Type. The IO control in the G Type can be resized but this change is not reflected in any connected constants. Workaround: Disconnect the cluster from the G Type, resize the IO constant, and then reconnect to the G Type.
| |||||
| 653259 Return | When changing the order of elements inside a cluster as GType, controls and constants connected to that GType are not updated correctly. In specific cases, when making changes to a GType any constants or controls that have already been placed may be reset to default values. Workaround: Leave the GType constants uninitialized when constructing the diagram and later assign them programmatically using values from independent data constants.
| |||||
| 605135 Return | Some strings remain in English rather than localized language when converted to LabVIEW NXG When setting a localized dictionary and converting from LabVIEW to LabVIEW NXG, some strings may remain in English. Specifically, strings that are labels instead of captions will appear in English Workaround: Set a caption for controls prior to conversion or update text after conversion
| |||||
| External Code | ||||||
| 669198 Return | DLLs with non-ASCII characters will not load Any non-ASCII character in a DLL call will fail to load and throw an error. Workaround: Rename the DLL to use ASCII characters
| |||||
| LabVIEW Object Oriented Programming | ||||||
| 661948 Return | Expand/Collapse glyph remains after deleting all contents of a class When you delete all contents of a class, it still displays the Expand/Collapse glyph in the project, as if there were members to be shown or hidden. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 599434 Return | Dynamic dispatch controls are not supported inside structures Placing a dynamic dispatch control inside of a structure provides the following error: The run-time type is not propagated from dynamic dispatch input to dynamic dispatch output. You must ensure that there is a wire path that flows to all dynamic dispatch indicators. Workaround: Remove the control from the structure and the error will clear.
| |||||
| 613660 Return | Error message for inline class functions lacks clarity Although class members are not meant to be set to inline, nothing stops the user from doing so. Once inline, the class member errors with the following message: Type.gtype has changes that have not been applied to controls or constants that depend on the type definition. To correct this error, you must save the type definition to apply the changes. Workaround: Set the class member to not be inline
| |||||
| LabVIEW Project | ||||||
| 599881 Return | Empty folders in project don't show up in the files pane when opening a project When you open a project with empty folders, those don't show up in the files pane. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| Menus | ||||||
| 644397 Return | Workbooks do not restore maximized after minimizing the environment window with a maximized workbook open. A maximized workbook window will minimize when the environment window is minimized. Restoring the environment window will also restore the workbook window but not in the maximized view. Workaround: Maximize the workbook window manually after restoring the environment window.
| |||||
| 643608 Return | Right clicking on a tunnel of queue of numeric type shows the numeric palette For most data types, the right click menu from the queue terminals shows the palette queue. Right clicking on a tunnel of numeric type shows the numeric palette. Workaround: Manually drop from the queue palette instead of right-clicking.
| |||||
| Miscellaneous | ||||||
| 596295 Return | Measurement Panel created for an array of task constants does not propagate name. When a Measurement Panel is created from an empty task constant inside of an array, a new task will be generated for it and a name will be assigned. However, this name will not be automatically updated on the original task constant inside the array. Workaround: Manually rename the task constant.
| |||||
| 631907 Return | Some keyboard shortcuts don't work with an AZERTY keyboard The following shortcuts do not work properly when using an AZERTY keyboard: Ctrl-' (Toggle the diagram grid on/off) Shift-Ctrl-; (Toggle Smart Guides on/off) Ctrl-[ (Set or delete Breakpoint) Ctrl-] (Set or Delete Probe) Ctrl-. (Abort ) Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 660805 Return | Windows "line per notch" scroll wheel settings do not apply to NXG The scroll wheel movement amount does correlate to the scroll size defined in the Windows mouse settings. For example there's no difference in the amount of block diagram scrolled whether the set to 1 line per notch or 10 lines per notch. Workaround: N/A
| |||||
| 662414 Return | Error & Warnings Panel continuously expands and collapses after repeated pinning and unpinning Normally, The Error & Warnings panel pops up when the mouse is hovered over it. In some cases, the Errors and Warnings window may expand and collapsed continuously after pinning and unpinning the Errors and Warnings panel. Workaround: Click the tab.
| |||||
| 665442 Return | G Types may break when moved in to components If you move some G Types into components, and there is a project-level GVI that references those G Types, it will be broken after the move. Workaround: Double click the "error in dependency" error message, which will take you to the G Type. When you load it, the issue is resolved.
| |||||
| 620473 Return | Element names inside Typedef Clusters or Rings may not show localized names When looking at names of elements contained within a Typedef Cluster or Ring, the name may appear in English rather than the appropriate localized language. Workaround: Close out of NXG and re-open. Open from the project.
| |||||
| 661634 Return | Enums may not be compatible after Flattening and Unflattening to/from Byte Array In certain cases, converting an enum using Flatten to Byte Array and then back with Unflatten from Byte Array can cause it to be incompatible with the original enum. This causes problems when trying to wire it into another VI looking for the enum. Workaround: Use the enum the Unflatten from Byte Array creates automatically to clear the error
| |||||
| 678830 Return | Dictionaries are only found in specific language culture Parent cultures will not find the dictionary even if the language matches the parent culture. As a result, localization will not happen. Workaround: Place the dictionary into a language-specific folder, e.g. de-DE, de-CH, de-LI, etc
| |||||
| Upgrade - Migration | ||||||
| 641719 Return | Projects with large file hierarchy error out during conversion with unclear error message The conversion tool adds hierarchy to the project structure during conversion that extends the length of the file path. As a result, file paths can become too long for Windows and create a situation where the conversion utility cannot find files at paths that do not exist. This will result in the following error: Conversion could not find this file at specified path The reason for the file not found is not clear in the action being made. Workaround: Make shorter file paths initially so the added hierarchy doesn't extend beyond Windows file path limits
