Editing Trace Properties

To edit trace properties such as the name, Y-axis association, the component definition, or the context, or the variables, select the trace in the Project tree.

To edit a trace name:

Select the trace in the Project tree. A docked Properties window for the trace appears.
Select the Specify Name box.
This enables editing of either the Name field in the docked properties dialog box, or the trace label text in the Project tree. Edit this name to change the display in the legend and in the Project tree, but not the underlying Y-component definition.

To edit the Y-axis associated with the trace (2D rectangular and rectangular contour plots):

Select the trace in the Project tree.
In the docked Properties window for the trace, select the Y-axis to be associated with the trace from the drop-down list. Up to 20 independent Y-axes can be added to a plot.

To edit a trace component definition:

Select the trace in the Project tree.
In the docked Properties window for the trace, select the component field of interest, and select Edit from the drop-down list.

This displays an edit component field from which you can edit the category, quantity, and function.

Click OK to apply the changes and close the dialog box.

To edit a trace Context:

Select the trace in the Project tree to display the docked Properties window.
In the Properties window, click the Solution field or the Domain field. If other selections are possible, you can select them from the drop-down list.

To edit a variable for a trace:

Select the trace in the Project tree to display the docked Properties window.
Under the -Variables category, on the Families line, click Edit to display the Edit families dialog box.

From this dialog box, you can select the Sweeps or Variations option buttons.

If other nominal values are available, click to select from a list.
