Method 1: Copy-paste the data plot from the other graphs

If it is just two or three graphs, you can do the following:

  1. Go to the other graph
  2. Click on the data plot to select it
  3. Do CTRL+C (or use the Copy Plot button in the Mini Toolbar that pops up
  4. Go to the destination graph and do CTRL+V to add the plot to the graph

After adding all desired plots, you may want to group them using Object Manager docked on the right side of the interface. This will then allow setting properties to the entire group such as uniform line thickness, color list etc

You may also need to update the legend to select appropriate metadata to identify your data plots
