How to copy DataVis attributes to a different DataVis record set

[Marc Davies]

I know one can duplicate a DataVis, but how does one use the same attributes for a different data set?

 

I have a series of carefully crafted attributes including line styles, fills, hatches etc against a number of fixed values (I typed the values manually as I need to use them for a template file). I want to use the same attributes when I attach looked up (SQLite) data to objects with matching values. This will format all my drawn objects correctly agains the external data.

 

However, when I select a different Record set, I lose all the applied attributes which took many hours to set up in the first place. Is there any way to retain/copy the attributes for a different record set?

 

The only way I can think of at the moment is to Data Map the records from an imported set into my template set, which is "faffy". [technical verb: "to faff"].
