CCS: Is it just me or does the CCS / Tools / Graph / Single Time feature really s**k? i.e. what am I doing wrong...

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Sorry for the clickbait title but I'm really tired of clicking (pun intended).

The problems I have with the Graph tool are as follows:

1) The address field does not have 'code completion'

2) None of the fields remember what I put in last time I used the tool

3) All fields require numerous non deterministic number of  clicks to 'active' so I can change the value

4) Once the select dialog is closed if I open it again from the small icon in the tab for that purpose the changes have no effect

all of that would not be so bad if the graph window would recover from compile/re-run cycle,

but if I recompile the code the grap show a brain dead line (much like this tool UI feels) and nothing I do will resurrect it.

So very frustrating to use.

Am I doing something wrong or is as bad as this?

Endless re-setup with so many clicks.... and room for mistakes. Outch!

PS would be great to be able to plot 3 graphs at a time after all many many people are doing 3 phase power/motor stuff with this tool ... just saying

    Yes this is a known limitation

    Yes, it is recommended to export the properties to a file using the "Export" button so that you can "Import" it next time you use the graph

    I am not aware of this issue. I tried with my CCS 10.1.1 installation and the changes I make do take effect and are preserved for the session. What version are you using?

    I don't see a flat line but the graph does not reset as expected. I will need to follow up with engineering on this matter.

    Thanks
