Hi,
I have been using NT 6.5 for some time, and have found that cutting and pasting chart objects is very useful. Sometimes I paste the object into notepad, modify the xml and paste it back to create a slightly different object location.
Questions:
1. Can I get into trouble doing this? What are the dangers, if any, in doing this? Would it crash the program?
2. Often when I paste several of the same object into a chart, say I'm pasting in a few lines, the second, third, fourth lines will fall successively lower on the chart by some small amount, so they are not on top of one another. The chart does this automatically. This can be easily seen to occur simply by creating a line on a chart, then ctrl-C and repeating ctrl-v a couple of times. The new lines fall successively lower and to the right. As a result of this automatic feature, my modified lines are not falling where intended, but lower in price and further to the right in time. Is there any way to stop this, and make the lines fall where the <bar> and <value> parameters indicate that they should fall? Is there a chart property that can be accessed by xml to switch off this feature, or can the chart object have an xml property that forces the location to be unmodified?
Thanks
