When you set up a plot in the Plot dialog box, you can save your settings to the Model tab or any layout tab. In the Plot dialog box, check the Save Changes to Layout check box. Then, the next time you plot from the same tab (Model or layout), the default settings will be the same and you can just plot.
You’ll find this check box in the Plot Options section of the Plot dialog box. If you don’t see that section, click the right-facing arrow at the lower-right corner of the dialog box to expand it and display the Plot Options section.
