Copy Chart Drawings across chartbooks for Specific Tools only

Hi,

I’m currently using the “Chart Drawings” copying feature across chartbooks, but I’m looking for more granular control.

Is there a way to copy or share drawings between charts/chartbooks based on specific drawing tools only (for example, only Volume Profiles or only specific tools), rather than copying all drawings on the chart?

Ideally, I’d like to filter which drawing types are shared or duplicated, instead of having every drawing tool copied over. 9 I only what me Horizontal line and Extending Rectangle to be copied nothing else)

If this isn’t currently possible, is there a recommended workaround to achieve this kind of selective drawing sharing?

Thanks.

Is there a way to do it within Sierra Chart without having to purchase another tool?

Chart Settings: Copy Chart Drawings from Chart #'s (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Drawings menu)

Excluding Specific Chart Drawings from Being Copied

It is supported to exclude specific Chart Drawings from being copied with the Copy Chart Drawings from Chart Numbers feature. To do this, add the command Allow Copy to Other Charts, to the Chart Drawing Shortcut Menu.

I seen the instructions above but overrides the copy chart drawing tools I had in place and makes me annually allow drawing to be copied every time. That is fine I just want one chart specially to be able to allow new drawings to be copied without manually having to allow it

The option for "Allow Copy to Other Charts" is the only option available to control certain drawings from being copied or not.
