RockPlot2D | Data | Copy All Data and Copy Numeric Data to Clipboard options
The RockPlot2D Data Window, which is displayed to the right of the image screen, is used to record
- Measurements made with the Measure menu tools (polygon area, line bearing, line distance, and polygon perimeter)
- Items and their coordinates recorded with the Digitize menu tools (points, lines, polylines, and polygons).
The Data Window contains buttons that permit you to copy all of the data window information, or just the numerical information, to your computer’s clipboard memory, for pasting into other applications.
Step-by-Step Summary
Follow these steps to copy the contents of the RockPlot2D Data Window to the clipboard:
- If necessary, open the diagram onto which you want to draw or measure items (see Opening Plot Files) or click in the current RockPlot2D window containing the diagram.
- Digitize the points, lines, polylines, or polygons onto the screen display, or measure the area, bearing, distance, or perimeter. Each item and its coordinates or computed measurements are recorded in the RockPlot2D Data Window to the right of the image screen.
- Click on either of the following buttons (they are also available in the RockPlot2D Data menu):
- Copy all Data button
at the top of the Data Window to copy all text and numbers, or
- Copy Numeric Data button
to copy numeric measurements and coordinates only.
- This information will be placed in the computer’s Clipboard memory. At this time, you can open another application, insert the cursor at the desired location and use that program’s Edit | Paste tool to paste the numeric or alphanumeric data to that document.
