LEGION Model Builder Help

Cutting, copying and pasting demand data

Any demand data that you select in the graph can be cut, copied and pasted to any other time interval within the Data Profile. Within LEGION Model Builder, cut, copy and paste functions work in the standard Windows manner and you can access them by right-clicking in a graph and selecting Edit > Cut, Edit > Copy or Edit > Paste.

The following standard Windows key combinations also work:

  • <Ctrl-X> to cut data
  • <Ctrl-C> to copy data
  • <Ctrl-V> to paste data

When using the right-click menu, right-click on the exact start time where you want to paste the data and select Edit > Paste.

When using <Ctrl-V>, click once on the exact start time from where you want to paste the data and press <Ctrl-V>.

A note on pasting data

The behaviour of the paste function differs according to the source of the data on the Windows clipboard, i.e. whether the data in the clipboard was copied internally from the demand graph or copied externally from another application.

Internal data that has been copied to the clipboard from the graph can be pasted anywhere in the graph and the relative positions (intervals) of multiple selections are maintained.

With external data copied from an application other than LEGION Model Builder, you need to specify the format of the data in the ‘Paste’ dialog box when you paste the data. See Editing data in a graph’s cells for full instructions.
