Origin Ver. and Service Release: Originpro8 SR0
Operating System: Windows XP
Hi,
I often found a problem using the vertical translate command, in fact the curve, previously set as active, eventually doesn't move.
I've already encountered this problem with previous Origin versions.
What can I do?
Thank you

Thanks Deanna,
I know the lock icon you are talking about, it's the same appearing after a curve smoothing.
In this case however I duplicated the graph only for not to rewrite the axis titles, but inserting new datasets.
I work with IR spectra and I use the translate command very often with row, unelaborated data, and often the command doesn't work. Maybe there is something more than I can check, beside the recalculation mode?

Hi,
Duplicating a graph is actually plotting again from the same datasets. The Recalculation Mode is associated with the dataset. Thus, if the curve has a recalculate mode that is not "None", you still cannot translate it. In addition, renaming the duplicated graph will not affect the Recalculate mode.
There should be a lock icon  near the top left corner of your graph. Click on it. You will see a menu. Then please select Recalculate Mode: None to disable recalculation. The curve will be translatable with this recalculate mode.
If you are intersted in reading more about Recalculate, please follow this link: http://www.originlab.com/www/helponline/Origin8/en/common_analysis_features/recalculating_analysis_results.htm

I've got it.
I was trying shifting a curve in a graph that was originated by duplicating an existing graph and not by creation of a new one. It was enough tho change the name of the graph from "copy of graph X" to "graph Y" to make the curve shiftable.
Ciao

Locked data cannot be translated.
You are trying to translate a curve that is the result of an analysis, you need to find the lock icon near the top left corner and click on it to open a menu and you should be able to set Recalculate to None. If Recalculate is set to None, then you can modify it.

I too am having trouble with the vertical translate. I receive:
Origin C report Critical error
Locked data cannot be translated.
How do i unlock it?
