this might be a stupid question but it drives me crazy,... so how can I control the symbol size when I'm using "Draw Data" function from the toolbar???
in one OPJ project file it draws "green squares size 3" and in another it draws "black squares size 9" ??? I don't see any difference between the files,...
thank you in advance

Hi Ondrej,
This could be caused by using different templates. Is this also the case for you?
However, you can always format the drawn data points after you have finished using the tool.

Hi Deanna,
I don't use different templates for different OPJ project, so it cannot be due to this reason,...
Yep, I know that I can format the draw data afterwards, but my problem is that when I start to draw data and it draws big points "9" it becomes so messy that I cannon't see where I want to add the next point,...
I've tried to make new template with the hope that Origin will use this as a default for the symbol size but it does not,...
can I somehow set up default symbol size, shape? or if I start to draw points can I draw the one point then format the size and then continue with the same set of drawing points? or some other cheating method?
cheers
Ondrej

I don't see a quick solution to this as the draw tool is based on some labTalk script.
But you can use the following script to start the draw tool instead of clicking the tool itself
dotool 5;queue {set %B -z 2};
Basically, in the script that drives this tool, %B is the name of the dataset being drawn.
