copy and paste the Y-axis settings to all the CDF plots

Yajing — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 03:07:03 GMT

in JMP Version 16.2.0, I have several CDF plots in one window, if i want to copy the Y-axis of 1st plot and paste to all of plots at one shot, how can i do it?

i dont want to paste it one by one, i want to paste all of them at one shot.

in general, we use "Ctrl" button to make it, like as paste the Y-axis for Biv fit plots, but for CDF plot, if we do the same way, the X-axis settings are also pasted at the same time.

How can I fix this? I scratched my hair crazy, but it didn’t help!!

If broadcasting doesn't work properly, you might have to "improve it" with some JSL. Below is one example of what you could possibly do

Names Default To Here(1);

abs = Current Report() << XPath("(//OutlineBox[text()='CDF Plot']//AxisBox)");

abs[1] << Copy Axis Settings;
abs[1::N Items(abs)::2] << Paste Axis Settings;

and maybe in addition:

x= abs[2] << Copy Axis Settings;
abs[2::N Items(abs)::2] << Paste Axis Settings;

jthi,

Thank you very much, it works now.

may i ask one more question: how can i make this script into a right-click command when i right-click the Y-axis each time. i think it would be more covenient to be used. Thanks

I don't think you can do that, but you could make a menu item or toolbar item to make it slightly easier to use.
