Exporting LabVIEW 3-D surface plots to Microsoft Powerpoint whilst maintaining ability to rotate image to change viewing position?

[FraserD]

is it possible to export a 3-D graph into Powerpoint and still have the capability of rotating the viewing position with the mouse whilst in powerpoint?

Hi FraserD,

You would have to use ActiveX Controls in LabVIEW and Powerpoint to have this functionality. In LabVIEW, you can place an ActiveX Container on the front panel, and then right-click and insert the CWGraph3D Object. Then, in powerpoint, you can access this object and LabVIEW. Here is a link that may provide some information on how to programmatically control the CWGraph3D Object from Visual Basic. Hope this helps!
