I find the plot quality produced by the XYPlot object when using “copy to clipboard”) surprisingly low- it is not suitable for direct pasting into Word reports (when pasting, only option is to paste a BMP format with blurry edges). How can I get a better quality like in the old WNL 5.3 version?

Try exporting the plot as a different file format. This can be done by clicking on the name of the plot in the Results tab and clicking the “Export” button, or by right-clicking on the name of the plot in the Results tab and selecting “Export”. Then, a window will appear asking you for a filename, and there will be a drop-down menu to select the file type. Several file formats are available as options for exporting plots.

Thx, regardless of export format, quality is still not acceptable (blurred). Why do you not have several paste options after using “copy to clipboard”. Only the “BMP” format is available.The quality of the plots - also when using the export function work around - is not good for report as also these plots come out blurred… Thx thomas

Please note that we have made some improvements to the export quality in the upcoming release of Phoenix WinNonlin 6.2. We hope you find these improvements helpful. This version should be available by March 31st, 2011. Your request to have the metafile option from the clipboard has been logged as QC 10685 for consideration in future releases. Thank you for your input. Ana Henry Phoenix Product Manager.
