Once you have customized an individual plot (by changing its line styles, adding marker lines and/or callouts, adjusting the axes, etc., you can save the settings you have made to the plot as a Template that you can apply to future plots.

To create a template based upon a customized plot:

  • Select Save Template... from the plot's File menu.

  • The Export Plot Template dialog appears ("Figure: Export Plot Template").

  • Enter a Name for the new template and choose whether the template will be available for:

    • All Applications—this really means all watersheds.

    • This Watershed only

      Select from the first two options only.
      The second two options were designed for a multi-user, client-server version of ResSim.


    • All Users Watershed
    • All Users
