Viewing statistics as graphs

To create a graph for an object:

See Selecting objects for more information.

2. Do one of the following:
• On the toolbar, click Graph Selected.



• From the shortcut menu for the object, choose Graph.
• From the main menu, choose Graph > Chassis or Graph > Port.

A statistics dialog box opens with tabs for different categories of statistics for the selected object.

3. Select a tab for the group of statistics you want to view.
4. On the displayed data table, drag to select the cells you want to graph. (They must be in the same row or column.)
5. Click one of the graph buttons at the bottom of the dialog box.

A graph dialog box opens for the selected graph type.

6. To print a copy of the graph, click Print.

Buttons at the top of the graph dialog boxes for line, area, and bar graphs allow you to change the orientation of the graph, change the scale, or change the graph type.
