Hello SC support team,

I use 2 charts, same symbol, different timeframe.
On both charts I use different control bars.
Each control bar has option to draw rectangle.
Aim is that when I select rectangle from one chart I get the drawing with red filling and when I use rectangle for another chart I get the drawing with green filling.

I saved two configurations for rectangle but I am unable to assign tool config TC1 to control bar 1 and TC2 to control bar 2.
I dont see any custom names of tool configuration under Tools->Current tool config.
Can I kinldy ask to assist? This is not intuitive to me...

Thanks.

If you have the configurations setup as you want and those are working properly (i.e. TC1 gives you a Red Rectangle, and TC2 gives you a Green Rectangle) then it is just a matter of assigning those particular tool configurations to a control bar button for the different control bars. This is done by following these instructions:

Hi John, thanks for the answer.
Seem copying control bars was the issue.
Now all is fine. Thanks very much for the help!
