Adding the same reference line (X axis) for multiple Control Charts quickly/easily

If one creates several control charts in Control Chart Builder using "By", how can you add an X-axis reference line to all of them without having to go to each individual chart?

 

Example: Phase Historical Data.jmp in the sample data library with plotting Force vs. Run by Site and adding a reference line for run = 5 for all of them.

Try this:

 

Make all the control charts (except for the reference line).  Then add the reference line to the first chart and close out the axis settings dialog.  Next, Right-click on the axis and select Edit > Copy Axis Settings.  Now, move down to the next control chart, hold down the CTRL key (CMD on mac) and Right-click on the axis and select Paste Axis Settings.  That should send the command to all same axes in CCB window.  

 

Sometimes holding down CTRL while opening the axis settings for the first chart will also broadcast the settings to the others, but that strategy doesn't appear to work in this case.  The Copy/Paste Axis Settings method above did.

 

Best,

Don't forget the Axis column property.
