Unrecognised option lockaxesticks

Hi,

I try to save a Matlab figure in .png extension but I get following error: "Unrecognised option lockaxesticks"

What does this mean? It is the first time I get this error and I do not find any help about it. I get this error also for .jpg, .bmp, .tif and .pdf extensions. I can save to .fig extension though.

I created the figure by loading an old .fig file and adding data to the original plot via the plot browser if this helps. I have done it before, without any error..

Thanks!

I am having this identical problem currently. I think it is possible that I had generated the figure in a newer version of Matlab (2011, a I think) and now I want to edit it and export it using Matlab 2010a. Exporting as a .jpg or .pdf results in the error: "Unrecognised option lockaxesticks" and the file does not save. Other options may as well. The only way that I can sucessfully save the file currently is to save it as a .fig. This is happening with all of my most recent figures (possibly those that I had created on the newer version of matlab?). However, my older figures will still export.

I just freshly installed Matlab 2012a and it did export the desired figure to pdf without giving this error. Is it possible that starting with Matlab 2011 a property name was modified?

Hi Oleg,

There is no code. I loaded a .fig file I made earlier. When I load it (no problems with that), and I try to save the file again (even with not changing anything) I get the error "unrecognised option lockaxesticks"..

If anyone still freaks out about this BUG, as i did for this entire day:

- go to C:\Users\"YourName"\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2010a\ExportSetup

- open default.txt

- delete the line "lockaxesticks off/on"

Problem solved ;)

-------edit-------

this solved the problem just once. Next day it pops up again and no way to solve it this time...

Any solutions? Like this Matlab is worthless...
