This procedure describes how to paste or duplicate gauge image sets so manipulating the sets is easier.
To paste gauges:
In Interactive Reporting Studio, open a dashboard that contains the Graphic Gauges component.
From Sections, select Gauge Samples.
Press Ctrl+D to enter Design mode.
Drag a rectangle with the mouse around the gauge set, including the label, to select all.
Press Ctrl+C to copy to the objects.
Move to another dashboard frame, and select View, then Zoom 50%.
From the catalog pane, expand Controls, drag a command button onto the frame, and position it below the level of the lowest frame object.
The button is created as a marker object for pasting the gauge objects.
When a frame is selected in Design mode, or an object is dragged onto a frame, a dotted rectangle displays the furthest boundaries within which objects exist. Ensure the marker is dragged below or to the right of the boundary, so all gauge images are available for selection.
Select the marker and press Ctrl+V to paste the gauge objects.
Selecting the marker ensures the pasted objects are positioned below the marker. Paste as many gauge sets as there are unique labels in the results or table column. For example, if the column contains five unique labels, paste up to five gauge sets on the frame.
Delete the marker object, and press Ctrl+D to exit Design mode.
Duplicate a gauge set by performing this procedure.
To duplicate gauges:
Use the gauge sets and frames that were created in the paste gauges procedure.
The frame remains zoomed to 50%.
Press Ctrl+D to enter Design mode.
Drag a rectangle with the mouse around the objects: the gauge images and labels.
Press Ctrl and click a selected object, and without releasing the mouse drag the gauges to create a duplicate.
Ensure the gauges and the duplicate do not overlap.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to create as many duplicates as required.
Position the selected objects.
Press Ctrl+D to exit Design mode.
Pasted or duplicated gauge sets are available on the frame.
