A range of options for transferring data from Hydromax to other programs such as spreadsheets and word processors is provided through copy and paste functions. This data transfer works both ways: e.g. copying and pasting data to and from Excel spreadsheets allows you to use the full spreadsheet capabilities of Excel on your Hydromax model.

Pictures of the hull in the View windows may be copied to the Clipboard using the Copy command from the Edit menu. A dialog appears after selecting the Copy command that will allow you to set the scale of the copied picture.

These pictures can then be pasted into other applications or the Hydromax Report window.

To copy a simple bitmap image of the view at the current resolution, use Ctrl+I; additionally, a bitmap of the current image may be saved by pressing Ctrl+Shift+I

Tables may be copied to the clipboard. Simply select a cell, row, column, range of cells or the whole table and then choose the Copy command or Ctrl+C.

The data copied from the table will be placed on the clipboard and can then be pasted into a spreadsheet or word processor for further work.

Note:

Copying data from the table with the Shift key depressed, will also copy the column headings.

Each of the windows in Hydromax may be printed. Simply bring the window you wish to print to the front and choose Print from the File menu. Views of the hull in the View window may be printed to scale as in Maxsurf.

Prior to printing you may wish to set up the paper size and orientation by using the Page Setup command from the File menu.

The page to be printed is initially displayed in print preview mode. To print the page click the Print button, otherwise click the Cancel button.

The printing may be forced to be black and white. Choose the Colours button and select the options required. Note that the print preview is not refreshed after these changes, but the selection will be reflected in the printout.

The titles may be edited by clicking the Titles button.

You may also export a bitmap of the rendered perspective view with the File | Export | Bitmap Image command.
