When making a chart in the Excel Extension (say, a PSD graph), by default there is only a line for the plot without data markers to indicate the underlying points. After the report is generated, the individual graphs can be edited to show data markers by right-clicking and selecting "Format Data Series". I see no option in the template at design time to select which, if any, data marker to use. Is it possible to set default behavior for data markers on charts/plots/graphs from the Excel Extension? Thanks.
Hi, Kirk,
Thanks for the response.
This is what I'm trying to do, but even after following the instructions you suggest ("Styling Chart and Line Marker") and creating the graph style in the configuration pack ("Extension Graph Styles Creation"), I cannot get the chart in Excel Extension to display according to the style I created.
As background -- the original PSD chart I used was modified from one loaded in the config pack when we started OG. It turns out the chart style was "Scatter with Straight Lines". Changing the style to "Scatter with Straight Lines and Markers" broke other parts of the chart, and I ended up making a new chart with "lines and markers" style and replacing the old chart.
Then, following the instructions in "Styling Chart and Line Marker" and "Extension Graph Styles Creation", I did the following:
Resulting plots do not display the defined graph style and both show the same line and symbol type. The attached screenshots show the steps above.
I appreciate any help you (or anyone else) can provide.
Hi Gregory,
I've read through the details and think that if the set line style isn't being used it could be a bug. Can you log this issue as a Service Request through https://connect.bentley.com/
Once logged we can look at what I need to repeat the issue and report to development.
