In a recent YouTube video the presenter shows this Chart Linking Dialog box. I have Chart Linking in my chart header, I've tried clicking, double clicking in colored box in my chart header and nothing happens. There must be another way to access that dialogue box. From Sierra's documentation: “On the top Region Data Line of a chart it is possible to add a field that when clicked on with the left pointer button, a Chart Link window will display. To add this field, select Global Settings >> Customize Chart Header on the menu. In the list of the Available Header Fields, Add the Link Number field if it is not already added. Press OK. … Left click on the link number (L:#) on the Region Data Line at the top of a chart or click on NoLink if there is no link number set, to display the Chart Link window to set the Link Number and linking Type.” See enclosed image.

When you are using OpenGL for the graphics, then that option to get the Link settings from the Chart Header does not function. We have not found a workaround for this, which is why it still is this way. We have updated the documentation for this.

Is there a way/anyway to bring this dialogue box up other than clicking on the header and with OpenGL? I think this linking dialog box would be very handy and easier to use than going into chart settings every time to adjust or set chart linking functions.

There are Control Bar and Keyboard Shortcuts for the "Chart Settings" window. Whatever tab you were last on on that page will be what comes up, so if you are bringing up the "Linking" tab often, then most likely it will default to that tab. There are also Control Bar and Keyboard Shortcuts that can be setup to change the current chart's Link Number and Link Settings.

I'm specifically referring to the dialogue box shown in the screenshot of the video. Any other way (besides deactivating OpenGL) to bring up or activate that particular dialogue box?

There is not another way other than disabling OpenGL and then using that Link option in the Chart Header.
