Greetings!
I need to transfer masks from multiple columns to another worksheet.
Is there a neat way of doing this?
Thank you.

Hi Andrey,
We added Copy Mask Status context menu in Origin 2024b.
Highlight column(s), right click and choose Copy > Copy Mask Status.
Then go to your destination worksheet select the starting column header to paste.
This is also supported in Copy Columns to xfunction. U can uncheck Copy Data and check Copy Mask to only copy mask positions.
Thanks, Snow

All Labtalk command can use abbreviation in general.
I do not search all doc page yet, following page mentions it.
https://www.originlab.com/doc/en/LabTalk/guide/Getting-Started-with-LT
Commands can be abbreviated as long as it's unique. Both the following work. |

Hi Andrey,
Your understanding on -ss and -sl switches is correct.
If you do not care about file, you may simply run script like
win -a Book1;
mark -ss; //a file in OS temp folder will be created
win -a Book2;
mark -sl; //use above file directly
Both the file and range arguments are optional and you can omit it.
But if you even do not want to keep a temp file, you can try using menu -e command, like
range r1=[Book1]1!, r2=[Book2]1!;
layer -o r1 { work -s 0 0 0 0; menu -e 39434; } // 39434 is menu id for Copy Mask Status
layer -o r2 { work -s 0 0 0 0; menu -e 57637; } // 57637 is menu id for Paste
see
https://www.originlab.com/doc/LabTalk/ref/Menu-cmd#-e.3B_Execute_the_menu_command_with_the_specified_ID
But menu -e is kind of dpepending on OS active window's execution, we suggest "mark -ss;" should be better.

//syntax: mark -ss/sl [file] [range];
range r1=[book1]1!, r2=[book2]1!;
mark -ss "C:\test\abc.dat" r1; //save
mark -sl "C:\test\abc.dat" r2; //load
Would you mind to take a try when have time?
GUI's "Copy Mask Status" menu works like a charm!
As for LT command: can you explain the syntax of -ss and -sl switches, please?
As I see ss stores the range's masks to a text file, while sl loads the masks from the text file and applies it to the specified range.
Right?
Is this possible to do via Windows clipboard, that is without an intermediate text file?

undo; //it undo the copy but mask is left
Thanks, Snow
Dear Snow,
Great trick!
This works perfectly for static data.
However if the target cells/columns contain formulas or operations/XFs the trick probably won't work.

To mask with Labtalk, u can refer to mark command. https://www.originlab.com/doc/LabTalk/ref/Mark-cmd#-s1.2C_-s2.2C_..._-s9.3BSet_mask_with_masking_value
Thanks, Snow
Dear Snow,
What I need is very simple. I have a sheet with masked cells. I want to mask the same locations on the other sheet.
Mark command is the right command.
However: how can I get a range of the masked cells and store it to a range variable (to pass it to mark command on the next step)?

Hi Andrey,
Do you mean copy mask locations only, not data.
We don't support it.
One workaround is first copy paste data with mask to the new sheet. mask will be copied as well.
Then copy the expected data (without mask) there. The mask will be kept.
Thanks, Snow
Got it.
Thanks.
Can I transfer masks using LT?
