Make automatic scaling of 2nd y-axis more predictable

Status: Completed

Hello SvenB,

 

At least since DIAdem 2012 is this function supported. You find it in the axis configuration in tab “Axis system”.

Greetings

Hi,

I quite often use a 2nd y-axis in a 2D-diagram. In order to improve the visibility I like to use the same grid for the first and second axis but different scaling. The 2nd y-axis is set to automatic scaling because of changing data ranges. Unfortunately the scaling range used for the second y-axis is completely unpredictable. Therefore the scale is way to big and the setting has to be corrected manually. This is very annoying, because the automatic choice is often not very logical and this behavior is not documented at all.

 

regards

SvenB

SvenB,

 

I have a similar issue with trying to use Automatic scaling for 3 axes on a graph. I have resolved it by using mannual every time I create a report, but it is not ideal.
