Paste Format

Click the Home | Clipboard | Paste | Paste Format command or press CTRL+SHIFT+V on the keyboard to paste the clipboard format's properties to a newly selected object. The original object remains in the plot window. The properties of the original object, such as line, fill, symbol, text format, are copied. After the Paste command is pressed, the copied properties are applied to the newly selected objects.

To copy and paste properties:

  1. Click on an object in the plot window or Object Manager.

  2. Click the Home | Clipboard | Copy Format command. The object 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.
