So, if Chart A was located at the top-left of the screen in workspace 1, and was located in the bottom-right of workspace 2, you could simply duplicate Chart A so that you had Chart A1 and Chart A2. Chart A1 would have its size and location saved separately from ChartA2, but they would contain the same datasets. If charts are not remembering the last size they were made, then please file a bug report. -Tex Clayton [email protected] Technical Lead, InterMapper GUI Team http://www.intermapper.com ____________________________________________________________________ List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [email protected]
