Hello, When I select the Horizontal Ray and click on the chart, I can place it anywhere. However, when I select the Copy and Move Drawing function, the platform only allows me to place the copy in the horizontal direction. This means that I first have to place it somewhere, click on it, and only then can I move it. My video demonstrates this issue. https://youtu.be/kyAlMJNbx5U Could you please ensure that when using the Copy and Move Drawing function, the copied Horizontal Ray can be placed directly in the desired location without an unnecessary extra click? Essentially, so that it works the same way as when we first insert a horizontal ray into the chart. Thank you Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-06-01 08:00:46

For what you want to do, you need to select the "Copy and Adjust" option.

Thanks, John, for the advice. In this case, the Copy and Adjust function works exactly as I would expect the Copy and Move function to work. Why isn't that the case? I’ve tried applying Copy and Adjust to other drawings as well, and I’m quite confused by this tool. I don’t understand its purpose. I’d also like to point out that it behaves inconsistently. When I use Copy and Adjust on text or a horizontal ray, it creates a copy and allows me to place it anywhere. However, when I use it on a rectangle, ellipse, line, or triangle, it creates a copy at the original location of the drawing and allows me to adjust one point of the drawing. No moving. I don’t really understand what this is good for. I haven’t seen this in any other trading platform. Furthermore, in some cases, it completely duplicates the Copy and Move function. For example, with text and horizontal or vertical lines. Honestly, aside from copying a horizontal ray the way I want, I haven’t found any practical use for this feature. Have you considered keeping only the Copy and Move function instead? Thank you. |

The "Copy and Move" and "Copy and Adjust" perform the specific functions they are referenced to. So "Copy and Move" then allows you to "Move" the drawing. "Copy and Adjust" lets you "Adjust" the drawing. The way the "Move" and "Adjust" drawing options work is consistent, you have to think about the individual drawings. Refer to the following regarding the differences between Move and Adjust: Chart Drawing Tools: Move Drawing Chart Drawing Tools: Adjust Drawing The important point is that "Adjust" actually lets you adjust the anchor points. In the case of a Horizontal Ray, there is only a single anchor, so the Move does not change that anchor. -- Sierra Chart is definitely unlike any other software - that is one of the things we are proud of.
