DM Graphs

I'm having the same issue. It's different depending on the algorithm. For example, in Mining Model Viewer, if I have a tree displayed and I right click on the tree, I get the options to "Copy Graph View," and "Copy Entire Graph." Those options will allow me to paste the tree graph into a Word doc. But if I'm in Cluster Analysis, I only get "Copy" when I right click on the chart. If I select it, and try to paste it into a Word doc, I get a table instead. I just assumed that the software wasn't finished yet and you couldn't copy those charts. But maybe it's a bug? I'm using SQL server standard edition on my desktop, single CPU.

That's the design of the copy functionality.

The graphical views copy as bitmaps and the tabular views copy as tables. There's a fine distinction between what's "graphical" and what's a "table" - essentially anything that looks "table-like" is a table, otherwise it's graphical.

The intention is that the graphics can easily be created from the table data. For example, if you download the Office 2007 beta and paste in what you copy from the Cluster Characteristics view, you can use the databars feature in Excel 2007 to easily create a facsimile of the Cluster Characteristics view.

For some views, notably the Cluster Overview view, the format of the table isn't very useful. This is fixed in SP2, which will release later this year.
