This presentation provides an introduction to the "New VI From Template" IDE extension. "New VI From Template" is a free, open source right-click menu (a.k.a. shortcut menu) plugin that helps create new VIs and CTLs based on templates, and helps insert them quickly into a LabVIEW project, LabVIEW library (lvlib) or LabVIEW class (lvclass). The tool helps improve standardisation (reuse of templates), and saves a few seconds and clicks each time a new VI or CTL is needed. The tool is available on VIPM. The source code is available on GitHub.
