Navigation Window

The Navigation window displays an overview of the active front panel in edit mode or the active block diagram. Use the Navigation window to navigate large front panels or block diagrams. Click an area of the image in the Navigation window to display that area in the front panel or block diagram window. You also can click and drag the image in the Navigation window to scroll through the front panel or block diagram. Portions of the front panel or block diagram that are not visible appear dimmed in the Navigation window.

Select View�Navigation Window to display the Navigation window. (Windows) You also can display the window by pressing the <Ctrl-Shift-N> keys. (macOS) Press the <Command-Shift-N> keys. (Linux) Press the <Alt-Shift-N> keys.

Resize the Navigation window to resize the image it displays. LabVIEW retains the Navigation window position and size so when you restart LabVIEW, the window appears in the same position and has the same size.

Note��If the front panel contains multiple panes, the Navigation window displays an image of the front panel. However, you cannot click or drag the image in the Navigation window to navigate the front panel.
