Copy and Paste Format context menu change
- More options when Pasting Format
In the past, people complained that we gave too many options when copying format. Sometimes it's confusing and hard to tell which format to copy.
Then if user choose the wrong format, he has to copy format again.
Therefore we changed the design so that when copying format, show no options for less less options, while when pasting format, give more options so user can decide what to paste and paste multiple times.
- Paste Format To to deal with mismatched on object selected when Copying Format and Pasting Format.
E.g. if right clicking on axis and choosing Copy Format, and then right click in blank area of another graph, Paste Format To context menu will show, allowing user to- choose what axis to paste format to
- what format/style to apply.
If right clicking on line+symbol plot instead and choosing Copy format, Paste Format To will show different target and format/styles.
- Improved Apply Formats dialog (Edit: Paste Format...)
In the past, after copying format, user can choose Edit: Paste Format... to edit the format on clipboard and where to apply to.
In Origin 2015, we improved Apply Format dialog so that user can also- Save the format.
- Load any existing graph theme file.
- Format to Apply group with checkboxes to easily control what format to exclude, include.
Apply To dropdown list so user can not only choose Apply Scope, but also components in graph to apply to.
