Copying and Pasting

You can use the standard Copy and Paste commands to perform the following operations:

Copying a Diagram

To Copy an Influence Diagram, Including the Objects Represented by the Nodes

  1. Select the group of nodes you wish to copy.
  2. Select Copy from the Edit menu (Control+c). The objects that the nodes represent, as well as a picture of the selected nodes with all of the relevant arrows between the selected nodes, are copied to the clipboard.


To Copy an Entire Influence Diagram Window

Select Copy Diagram from the Edit menu. The entire influence diagram is copied as a picture representation without copying the objects that the nodes represent.

Copying an Edit Table or Result Table

To Copy an Edit Table or Result Table

  1. Open the window containing the table.
  2. Select cells and choose Copy from the Edit menu (Control+c).


'To Copy All the Elements of a Table in Addition to the Index Elements

Select Copy Table from the Edit menu. The entire multidimensional array is copied as a graphic and as a list of two-dimensional tables in a special text format.

Copying a Result Graph

To Copy a Result Graph

  1. Open the Result window containing the graph.
  2. Select Copy from the Edit menu (Control+c) to copy an image representation of the graph to the clipboard.

Pasting Data from a Spreadsheet

To Paste Data from a Spreadsheet

To paste tabular data from a spreadsheet into an Analytica table:

  1. Select a group of cells in a spreadsheet.
  2. Select Copy from that program’s Edit menu (Control+c) to copy the data to the clipboard.
  3. Bring the Analytica model to the front and open the Edit Table window you want to paste the data into.
  4. Select a top-left cell or the same number of cells that you originally copied.
  5. Select Paste from the Edit menu (Control+v)
Tip
When copying a row of data from a spreadsheet into a one-dimensional table, transpose the data first so that you are copying it as a column of cells, not a row of cells.

Pasting Data from Another Program

To Paste Data from Another Program

To paste data from a program other than a spreadsheet:

  • Use tab characters to separate items, and return characters to separate lines.
  • Use numbers in floating point or exponential format. You can use the suffixes that Analytica recognizes, including K, M, and m. Dollar signs ($) and commas (thousands separators) are not permitted.

Exporting an Image File

To Export an Influence Diagram to an Image File

  1. With the diagram showing, select Export from the File menu.
  2. From the Save dialog, select the desired format (e.g., EMF, PNG, JPEG). An image of the full diagram is stored (not just the selected nodes).

Exporting a Result Graph to an Image File

To Export a Result Graph to an Image File

  1. Open the Result window containing the graph.
  2. Select Export from the File menu and select the desired image file format (e.g., EMF, PNG, JPEG).
