Hi I'd like to know how to easily transfer the content of a layer from a graph to another
Is there a hidden menu option to do this ?
Or using Labtalk ? |

ok, but it seems that the layer does not appear in the layer management menu afterwards (in the new graph)
also how to do this with multiple layers ? |

The key is to make sure you have selected the source layer when you do the copy. You will know you have selected it when you see the rectangle and 8 selection handles (in 4 corners and 4 edges) around your graph.
In case you have trouble getting the selection (e.g. your data is very dense or you have a contour graph) try holding down the Alt key and then clicking on the graph.
Once you have the selection, press Ctrl+C.
In the new graph window, click where you want the upper left of the copied layer to appear and press Ctrl+V.
Note that OpenGL supports only one layer. |

Actually i tried today in 8.5.1 without success...
Could you be more specific on how to copy and paste ?
Should it be from layer management window ? |

You can copy and paste a Layer and all its content from one Graph to another (adding a new Layer) by just selecting the layer and using Ctrl+C to copy and selecting the new Graph and Ctrl+V to paste.
For copying just content you can use script:
win -a Graph1; // Make your source graph active
page.active = 2; // If multiple layers, make source layer active
layer -c; // Puts count of plots in 'count' and names in '%Z'
win -a Graph2; Make your target graph active
page.active = 3; // If multiple layers, make target layer active
layer -i %Z; // Includes all datasets using existing plot styles
or
layer-i201 %Z; // Includes all datasets as Scatter plots

for PlotIDs and note that they must be appropriate to the data being copied and the layer targeted. |
