Copy Data to Clipboard

Any of the data which can be graphed in RS2, can also be copied to the Windows clipboard. From the clipboard, it can be pasted into other Windows applications (e.g. Excel), for report writing, further analysis and processing, etc.

Data which may be copied to the clipboard includes:

• Material Query Data
• Bolt Data
• Liner Data
• Joint Data

There are various ways of copying data to the clipboard.

While selecting for Graph options

1. Select a graph option (Graph Material Queries , Graph Bolt Data , Graph Liner Data , Graph Joint Data ).
2. Select entities as you would for graphing (see the links above for more information).
3. Right-click the mouse, and select Copy Selected from the pop-up menu.
4. Data for the selected entities will be copied to the clipboard, and can be pasted into a spreadsheet program such as Excel, for further processing by the user.

In Graph Data dialog

The above method will only copy data for the stage which is currently being viewed. If you wish to copy data for multiple stages, then this is possible with the Copy Data button in the Graph Data dialogs. For example:

1. Follow steps 1 and 2 above.
2. Right-click and select Graph Selected.
3. In the Graph Data dialog, you may now select multiple stages if desired, using the checkboxes provided. Then select Copy Data, and data for all selected stages will be copied to the clipboard.

Shortcut for Single Entity

A shortcut for copying data for a single entity (i.e. a single material query, a single bolt, a single joint or a single lined boundary), is to right-click ON the entity, and select the appropriate Copy option from the popup menu. This will copy data for a single entity to the clipboard. You can use this shortcut at any time, you do not have to be in Graph mode.

Note: Copy Data is NOT available in the main menu; it is only available as a right-click option or in the Graph dialogs, as described above.
