Translating Curves
To translate a curve in increments using the keyboard:
1.Set the cursor on the curve you want to translate.
2.If necessary, press the NUM LOCK key on the numeric keypad of your keyboard in order to turn off NUM LOCK mode.
3.Use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad correspond to the numbers 2, 4, 8 and 6 in order to translate the curve in the particular direction. You can increase the increments by holding down the CTRL or ALT key. Relevant buttons can be found under Cursor[Translate Curve].
To translate a curve using the mouse:
1.Hold the CTRL key down and move the mouse to the horizontal or vertical line of the active cursor or to the location where the two lines cross, depending on whether you want to translate the curve vertically, horizontally or in both directions.
2.Now hold down the left mouse button and drag the curve with the mouse to the desired position.
To translate a curve around a predefined numerical value.
1.Disable the cursors using the command Cursor Tools/Cursor[Cursor] > On/Off.
2.Click on the curve or on its axis label to select it.
3.In the Properties window, enter the desired values in the fields X offset and Y offset in the unit of the data upon which the curve is based.
To align two curves:
1.Place the original cursor on the curve that is not to be translated, but is to serve as a reference for the translation.
2.Move the cursor to the desired reference point on this curve.
3.Now activate the leading cursor and place it on the curve to be translated.
4.Move the cursor to the point on the curve to be aligned with the reference point of the other curve.
5.Open the list box under Cursors [Translate Curve] > To Cursor and select one of the following commands: Horizontal to Cursor, Vertical to Cursor or Both to Cursor.
Note: The data of the translated curve is not changed during translation. The curve just appears as translated. The original data of the data set upon which the data is based continues to be displayed in the coordinates window as well. By translating the curve, its data deviates from the axis scaling.
