This feature allows the user to select a "Source Cell" and then copy the current property into subsequent cells ("Target Cell"). First the user must turn on the Copy Cell Properties button on the toolbar. The "Source Cell" is then selected using Ctrl-LMC. An input box is then displayed and filled with the Source Cell's property. The user can change the value or use the operator method noted above. The user can then apply the "Source Cell" property (or whatever is in the property input box) by Ctrl-RMC. The user can keep applying the value or operator by continuing to Ctrl-RMC 'ing on the desired cells.
The user can also apply Operators using this function. For example, to apply a rise of 50% over the current value of whatever parameter is being edited, follow these steps:
- Select the desired Viewing Opt's.
- If output data is currently loaded, set the current time back to the start. The Enabled Edit will be enabled if the user is at the IC timing position.
- Check Enable Edit.
- Press the PP
button on the toolbar. This is a toggle button. This function will be active until the user toggles it off by pressing the button again or changing the "Viewing Opt's". - Enter "* 1.5" in the Cur Value field (note the space between the * and the 1.5 is required).
- RMC 'ing on the cells, while holding down the Control key, will apply a 150% factor to the value of the cell. For example, if bottom roughness is being edited and the initial value was 0.02 m, after Ctrl-RMC 'ing the updated value would be 0.03 m. The cell color would be updated.
