I have two graph (Graph1 , Graph 2) in two different igor experiment file (exp1.pxp and exp2.pxp) . How can I open two graph in a new experiment file ? I tried to save two individual graph from the experiment file (save "Save Graph copy") ..and opened one of them (say Graph 1) and then tried to drag the second.., it doesnot work.

Is there anyway other than copying the data of the second and to paste in a new blank table in the experiment file that contain and plottting new graph Graph 2 from that table?

You already know about Save Graph Copy so the second one is what is missing.

To prevent name conflicts, Merge Experiment loads the merged experiment's data into a new data folder.

Your dialog wave browser may be set to not show data folders. Click the little triangle in the lower-lefthand corner and set it to show data folders.
