Benefits: Several enhancements are available for saving data that improve the usability of X–Y plotting.
Description: The following enhancements for saving X–Y data are now available:
When you save history output for multiple variables, temporary curves can be stored in the XY Data Manager; for example, when you select the sum operator as the Save Operation. These temporary curves are now removed automatically after the operation is complete.
You can control the order of operations for the combine and power operators using the new Swap variables option.
When you save history output for multiple variables and enter a new name prefix, the name prefix is retained if you subsequently select another operator that also results in multiple X–Y data objects; previously, the new name prefix was not retained.
You can now choose global coordinates to convert path points to X-values, as shown in Figure 13–3.
