Some tools have a font control within the Configuration/Properties. But most, including the ones you reference, are controlled by the "Global Chart Drawing Font". Refer to the following: Chart Drawing Tools: Global Chart Drawing Font (Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> General >> Drawing Font) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

thank you john. very helpful my issue here is now that my drawing template, let's say TC1 is now configure with all the style that i like and the text associate ( ex VAH (-1) ). But when i use TC1 the text that i use in the drawing is not save within the template. in other words i need to write again the text in the drawing each time for a new drawing. do you know a way to save also the text within the drawing tool as TC1/template ? This is very useful for mapping my chart without rewrite the text of every line every single day... Thank you |

Many of the tools have the ability to use the "Configuration Name" for the text that is part of that drawing. For instance, in the Configuration options for the Line drawing, is the option for "Copy Tool Config Name to Text". Set this to "Yes" and then save the configuration with a specific name (the name can be set on the "SaveConfig" tab in the section for "Tool Configuration Name"). Then, when you use that configuration, it will automatically use that text. Refer to the information in the following link for that option: Chart Drawing Tools: Common Tool Configuration Settings and Chart Drawing Properties For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
