Re: swapping scales incompatible with EnableAutoScales=False ?

You don't need that global INI file setting anymore in LabVIEW 7.0 as the setting is now a per graph configurable setting in the popup menu.

Obviously I am missing an option accessible via the LV menu that would toggle this EnableAutoScales from True to False. Is there any such thing or is this only that graphs are still work in progress in LV (which we know from many other features anyway) ? Should I write my own Vi that would change the ini file back and forth ? Look in the Advanced pullright, between Smooth Scrolling and Cursors Scroll Graph. As for why these options are at odds? The adjust scales lets the scales grow without overlapping. It works to move and shrink the plotting area as the various scales change size. Turned off, the plot area no longer shrinks, but the scales have to grow over one another and outside the area of the graph. Greg McKaskle
