Specifying a default for graph cursor default
I would like to use the cursor axis info copy feature to copy date and time with date format YYYYMMDD followed by time format HH:MM:SS.SSS - for example 20260725 05:04:40.562. However, graphs use a date format DD/MM/YYYY. This is not a particular problem. However, the cursor displays the position uses the same format - for example 25/07/2026 05:04:40.562. I have the cursor info Date format set to readable with seconds and fractional seconds digits to three. Tables display the date/time in the desired format 20260725 05:04:40.562 which is my working format.
Any thoughts on how I can change the cursor copy format ?
I have a bit difficulty to follow what you are trying to achieve. The Copy Value menu of the Info bar copies the date value exactly as it is displayed in the format you have set. This date / time format is the same as for your system settings (on Windows), i.e., the short date with the long time. If you want to change this, go to the Windows settings dialog and change the date format. If you want a specific date format without changing any settings you can use the raw time in seconds instead and use Secs2Date() and Secs2Time(). For example to get the date in your format YYYYMMDD, you could use:
