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.

In the 3D View, click the 3D View | Clipboard | Copy Format command () to copy the selected object's properties. All properties such as colormap, opacity, isovalue, and clipping plane are copied to the clipboard and applied to a newly selected object when the 3D View | Clipboard | Paste Format command is clicked.

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 and 3D environment properties, do not support copy and paste format.
