Set default symbols for graph

Hello Andrew,

Try this:
1. Open the model and compute.
2. Open or create a graph containing both time series field data and calculated results.
3. Open chart options, select the time series field data, click change, then select the style "Points" using the TeeChart Gallery. Set the calculation series to use the style "Line".
Alternately, you can select the series section, select the format tab, click the Border button and toggle Visible. Point visibility can be toggled in the Points tab.
4. Close chart options and the graph is updated to display the time series field data with points and without lines.
5. Select "Save Chart Options As Default".
6. Close the graph.
7. Open another graph
8. Select "Apply Default Chart Options" and the graph should update the graph to show time series field data as points and calculated data as lines.

Note: There was a patch released for SELECTseries 6 (08.11.06.58) that addressed two defects related to graphs (#289570 & #290223). That could be the reason for inconsistent results between SELECTseries 5 and SELECTseries 6.

Hi Craig,

Thanks for your reply. This solution works well for simple graphs, such as a tank level, that have two data sets (model and field data). However, it does not work on complex graphs such as pumps that have suction pressure, discharge pressure, flow, relative speed for model and field (8 data series on same plot). Furthermore, I have over 100 graphs and would prefer to not manually edit each one, especially since the previous version of WaterGEMS (SELECTseries 5) worked as I had hoped.

When showing dozens of graphs to clients, it is important to have uniform formatting for faster comprehension. I prefer the formatting from SELECTseries 5 where Time Series Field Data (SCADA) is shown as points and the model is shown as a line without points.

Are there any patches that I can install to make this formatting style the default?

Thank you,
Andrew

Please provide the version you are currently using and your model files. You can find the version number by opening the Help menu and selecting About WaterGEMS. It will be on the bottom left corner of the dialog (08.11.06.XX).

There are two options for sharing your model on Communities, whichever you choose please be sure to zip your files first. The first option is to attach the zip file containing your model to your reply on the forum using the Advanced Reply Editor (you'll find the link below and to the right of the reply box). If your data is confidential please use the instructions in the link below to send it via Bentley Sharefile. Files uploaded to Sharefile can only be viewed by Bentley employees. Please be sure to reply on this thread with the name of the file after it has been uploaded.

Thanks, Craig.

The file has been uploaded with the title "Suez - Harrisburg Model.zip"

Thank you for providing the model. I can see that the time series field data and calculated data are displayed inconsistently in the model's graphs. Do you by any chance have a copy of the SS5 model or a backup (.bak) of it? Having that may be helpful in determining the cause.
