Adding Datasets Manually

1. Select Project > Datasets.The Datasets dialog box appears.

2. Click Add. The Add Dataset dialog box appears.

3. A default name for the dataset appears in the Name text box. Rename the dataset if desired.
4. To enter data manually, type the x- and y-coordinates for the first data point in the first row of the Coordinates area. Type the x- and y-coordinates for the remaining data points in the dataset using the same method.

• After you type a point’s coordinates and move to the next row, the point is added to the preview plot, adjusting the plot view with each newly entered point.
• Use the buttons beneath the coordinates table to Add Row Above and Add Row Below the currently selected row, to Delete Rows, and to Append Rows to the end of the table.
  Note:

  • The x-coordinate values for successive data points must increase within ten significant digits.
  • You can also click Import Dataset to import data coordinates. Doing so will overwrite any existing values in the Coordinates area.

5. Click Swap X-Y Data to exchange all x- and y-coordinate values.
6. Click Export Dataset to open a file browser in which you can export the dataset to a tab-delimited file.
7. When you are finished entering the data point coordinates, click OK.

The dataset plot is extrapolated into an expression that you can use in parametric analyses or assign to a property value.
