Graph wont allow dragging of cursor

Im working on a vi that has been created by somebody else. The graph they have used doesn't allow you to drag cursors on it, it just gives you a zoom icon when you move your mouse over it. Whereas if i create a new graph, this does allow it. I have attached an example with two graphs, one been the problematic one and the other been a correct working new one.
Can anybody tell me how to allow the dragging off cursors? It is not the "allow drag" option. I dont really want to replace the graph with a new one as it is referenced alot within alot of sub vi's.
Any help will be much appriciated.

When the graph was copied and pasted onto a new graph it must have been in "zoom" mode. To change the mode right-click on the graph and make the Graph Palette visible (in the "Visibility" submenu). If you do this on both graphs you will see that the top one is in "cursor" mode, while the bottom is in "zoom" mode.

  • Position Cursor on GRAPH either by dragging it OR entering the dsired position in the Cursor legend

    I've written a VI that allows the user to import a dataset, view it on a graph, and then use cursors to "filter" the range of data that I'm interested in, by sending the cursor.index values from the first graph to an array subset function which feeds a second graph.  The problem is that I'd like to provide the user the ability to position the cursors on the first graph both visually - by dragging - (for "course" control) AND by entering the desired values directly into the cursor legend (for fine control).  The problem is that I cannot find a way to do this, since I have to have the Lock Ring set to “Lock to Plot” in order to capture the index information. According to the documentation, the only way to be able to position the cursors via the Cursor legend is to set the Lock Ring to “Free”, which means the index values are rendered useless, since the cursor is no longer locked to the plot.  If I leave the Lock Ring in "Lock to Plot", and enter a value in the cursor legend, it does move the cursor, but not to where it should.  If I enter a value an x value of 9.0 for cursor 1, the cursor goes to 10.2638.  The next time I enter 9.0, it goes to 9.82794.  I don't understand what the issue is.  Is there a way around this?

    Yes Rudi:  What I want is for the operator to place the cursors by dragging them (just eye-balling it).  The, if they see that the Y cursor (horizontal) is at 10.234, and they want to make it 10, they could simply enter that value in the cursor legend, and the cursor would be placed exactly at 10.  The only way to do this seems to be to select the “Free” option for the cursor.  However, in order to use the first graph to set the boundaries of the second graph, I have to use the Cursor Index from the first as an input to the Array Subset that feeds the second graph.  In order to use the Cursor Index, the first graph has to have its cursor Lock Rings set to “Lock to Plot”.  Am I making this any more understandable, or just rambling?

  • Does anyone know why the mixed signal graph stops allowing traces to be drag'ed and dropped between different plot areas?

    I have a mixed signal graph that allows me to drag and drop my traces between the plot areas,  then it stops allowing it.
    If I start with a new graph it allows it but eventually stops allowing it.
    I have 4 XY charts feeding the one mixed singal graph through a bundle function, then I run it once and drag my traces to the correct plot area
    and hope that it keeps working.

    Hi Tim,
    That sounds like some interesting behavior.  Can you reproduce what you were seeing, or have you continued to be able to drag the signals to other plots since you saved and reopened your program?

    I have photoshop cc, and I am used to photoshop elements. In photoshop it wont allow me to just click on a layer, and have it select that layer . I have to click on the layer in the box that shows all my layers in order to select it. I also want it to not only select the layer on the actual project, but put a hashed line around it that allows me to resize it manually, without having to do it in another window. Does that make sense? I cant even get the layer to select. PLEAE HELP. Id also be able to just click on the layer and drag it. It wont let me, and I am confused.

    If you were serious to learn Photoshop, I'd advise you to take Photoshop classes at your nearest community college or some such institution, to take a subscription to lynda.com, to watch all the Photoshop videos at Adobe TV, to google for specific video tutorials on You Tube and for other tutorials in text format.
    Even the Help menu in Photoshop can be a great starting place.
    Don't expect to find in Photoshop the kind of hand-holding features that Elements has and that appeal to beginners and amateurs.

    Hi Jeff,
    many thanks for getting back to me. The error message I get is on step 5, it simply says "We'll look into that and get back to you" followed by "you should get an email from us in the next business day etc etc" I've tried this a few times using different cards, both personal and company cards, debit and credit. My case number is #0211430930.
    I've spoken to numerous people in customer suppport but all they say is they'll escalate it, but no one rings back.
    Thanks again for your help.

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

    Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

    - Connect the iPod to the computer and see if iTunes sees it. If it sees it try to get the photos off the iPod.
    - Next let the battery fully drain. It will likely take days. After charging for at least an hour try again
    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?

    If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.

    This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

  • My Ipod touch wont allow me to sync any apps from my itunes library. It also wont allow me to get into itunes from the ipod itself. So i downloaded some apps from the istore on my computer, but it wont allow me to sync them to the ipod. Please Help!?

It doesnt even give me the option to do so. The only things syncing to my ipod are music and pictures. Can anyone please help me??

    You need to restore the iPod on the new computer. You can only sync apps (and some other stuff) from different computers/libraries but you can manage music and some other stuff among different computers/libraries.

    No, but you do not need iTunes to setup a new iPhone 5s. Create an iCloud backup for anything you want to transfer to the new iPhone.

    Hi,
    Are you running any Anti-virus software or do you have your firewall turned on? If so, disable them and try again. If that doesn't work, delete the iCloud account and then sign it back on again.
    Make sure you are running the most current version of the iCloud Control Panel:
