This command allows you to specify whether data on the clipboard is 2D, 3D, etc. You may also elect to link to the source application, if the source provides link information. Finally, you can use this command to tell DPlot that the clipboard text contains a column of point labels.

To create a link between a source document and a dependent plot in DPlot

Both applications must be Microsoft Windows applications.

1Open the source document in the server application.
2Select the source data you want to copy into the dependent document in DPlot. See the documentation for the server application for more information on selecting data.
3From the Edit menu, choose Copy.
4Switch to the dependent document window in DPlot.
5Select Paste Special from the Edit menu. Check the Link box, change the data type if necessary, then click OK.

If the Link box is disabled, the other application does not support linking or cannot supply the data in a format that DPlot can use.

Data organization and Format

Data should be organized and formatted as described under the Help topic for the Paste command.
