Change Data section of the Data tab
To change the dataset on one or more selected objects to the next or previous dataset:
| 1. | Select the plots you wish to change. If you wish to change all plots, you need not select them and the current selection is irrelevant. |
| 2. | Use one of the three following methods: |
| • | Use the Data→Change Data on Selection/Change Data on All Objects→Next (or Previous) command. |
| • | Use the keyboard shortcuts Alt+Right arrow for Next or Alt+Left arrow for Previous. |
| • | Right-click on the selected object and choose Next or Prev from the pop-up menu. |
| • | In the Data List, click on the file to which you would like to change and select the appropriate choice from the Data List Actions window. |
