Ampler Charts lets you copy a chart’s size and position and apply them to another chart, so charts match exactly across a slide or deck.
Quick answer: Select a chart and copy it (Ctrl+C), then select another chart and right-click — you get options to apply the size and position.
How to use it
Copy a chart, then apply its size and position to another.
- Select a chart and copy it (Ctrl+C).
- Select another chart and right-click — you now have options for applying the size and position.
The target chart takes on the copied chart’s size and position exactly, so the two match.
When to use it
Pick up size and position when several charts must share dimensions, or sit in identical spots across slides — for a set of exhibits that need to line up exactly.
How consultants use it
Exact, repeatable placement is part of a professional multi-chart deck. Three habits apply:
- Exact matching: a chart takes another’s size and position precisely
- Identical across slides: charts sit in the same spot from slide to slide
- A reference sets the standard: one chart’s geometry is applied to the rest
Picking up size and position makes charts match exactly across a deck.
Tips & best practices
- Use it so equivalent charts share size and position across slides.
- Copy from a well-placed reference chart.
- Combine with Align using Last Selection for multi-chart slides.

Frequently asked questions
How do you make two charts the same size and position?
Select a chart and copy it (Ctrl+C) in Ampler Charts, then select another chart and right-click to apply the size and position.
How do you place charts identically across slides?
Pick up the size and position from a reference chart and apply them to each chart, so they sit in the same spot.
Can you copy just the size or just the position?
Right-clicking the target chart after copying gives options for applying the size and position.
How is this different from aligning charts?
Aligning lines charts up on a slide; picking up size and position copies exact dimensions and placement from one chart to another.
