Plotting generated waveforms in the same subwindow as simulated waveforms

CADcasualty

I have an ocean script that runs a transient simulation and then creates a waveform using artListToWaveform() that I want to overlay onto the waveform of interest. Frustratingly, when I plot the two waveforms they always end up in two different subwindows. I can plot any number of waveforms from the simulation into the same subwindow, but the created artListToWaveform() waveform simply won't plot in the same subwindow as the "real" waveforms. The x-axis limits for the generated waveform are the same as the real waveforms. Any ideas?

    So I've found the cause of the problem - the generated waveform doesn't have any units and therefore viva plots it in a different subwindow. However, if you right click on the x-axis and select Allow Any Units then both waveforms will plot on the same axes :-). You can configure viva ahead of time by putting the following into your .cdsinit:

    envSetVal("viva.indepAxis" "flexible" 'string "true")

    If you enter the above command into the CIW then viva's original behavior persists until you open up a new plot window. 

    So now I guess I'm all set, but I can also ask a follow up question - can I set the independent axis units of my generated waveform to be in seconds?

    See abSetUnits and abSetXUnits in this article. Ah, looks like I've posted the code to the forums too - here.

    These solved all of my problems! I don't even need to bother with the solutions I posted earlier in the thread. Thanks so much!!
