Copy Format

Click the Home | Clipboard | Copy Format command or the button, or press CTRL+SHIFT+C on the keyboard to copy the selected object's properties. The original object remains in the plot window. The properties of the selected object, such as line, fill, symbol, text format, are copied. Select another object and click the Home | Clipboard | Paste | Paste Format command to paste the copied properties to the newly selected object.

To copy and paste properties:

  1. Click on an object in the plot window or Contents window.
  2. Click the Home | Clipboard | Copy Format command. The object's properties are copied to the clipboard.
  3. Click on another object, or multiple objects, to select.
  4. Click the Home | Clipboard | Paste | Paste Format command. The currently selected objects update to show the same properties as the original object.

Some options, such as axis limits, do not support the copy and paste format.
