You can resize most nodes on the block diagram, such as subVIs, Express VIs, Property Nodes, and several functions such as the Array functions.
Note You only can resize subVIs and Express VIs when you
view them as expandable nodes. The
Index Array, Replace Array Subset, Insert Into Array, and
Array Subset
functions automatically resize to match the dimensions of the input array you wire.
Complete the following steps to resize a node on the block diagram.
- Move the Positioning tool over the node. Resizing handles appear at the top and bottom of the node.
- Move the cursor over a resizing handle to change the cursor to the resizing cursor.
- Use the resizing cursor to drag the border of the node down to display additional terminals.
- Release the mouse button.
To cancel a resizing operation, drag the node border past the block diagram window before you release the mouse button.
You also can insert a single input or output in a subVI or Express VI.
