LabVIEW 2009 3D Plot has no Loose Fit property and Axis AutoScale does not function at run time ?

[SteveP]

I cannot find a Loose Fit property for the new 3D plots (waterfall, ribbon) in LV 2009.  As a result, my data range of 1402 to 1407 ends up on a Z axis range of 1400 to 1500 and looks like a flat line.

The Z Active Axis properties Range Maximum and Range Minimum can be used to set the range but the Z Axis Autoscale property had to be changed to False using either the front panel Plot Properties at edit time or using the Range Auto Scale property at run time on the block diagram.  It could not be changed at run time by popping up on either the plot border or on the Color Palette.

In edit mode, R-clicking on the Color Palette's AutoScale Z did not make that property toggle or stick and did not change its function.

At run time, there are two AutoScale Z selections shown.  One along with the X and Y scales and another by itselfat the bottom.  Again, clicking the one that is part of the X and Y axis did not make its setting stick and did not have an effect.  What does happen though is that the other AutoScale Z shown at the bottom of the Color Pallete popup does toggle its state.  But clicking on the AutoScale Z shown at the bottom does not toggle its state.

The grey border region of the plot area contains at run time, popup setting for X,Y and Z AutoScale that likewise have no effect.

Or am I missingsomething ?

Steve,

you should be able to successfully change the scales based on the min and max values as long as you explicitly turn off autoscale. In your program, I just right-clicked the  Range Auto Scale property selected "change to write", then made a control so that I could set the value myself. Clean up the broken wires, and the program runs like it's supposed to - resetting it's scale range: 

 

is this the result you wanted?
