Hello,

I'm sure this is relatively easy to do, but could you tell me how to link charts in a chartbook?
If I scroll back in time on one chart I want the other charts to scroll back automatically at the same time.
For instance, suppose I have charts A,B and C. When I scroll back to 7.30 am, say, on chart A I would like charts B and C to be scrolled back at the same time.

With thanks in advance for your help.

You need both charts to have the same link number and both of them to be set to have the "Scroll Position" enabled.

We are not understanding this. We think you are not doing this correctly.

The link number has nothing to do with the chart number. You need to set the same Link Number in both charts (i.e. Charts 1 and 4 need to have the Link Number the same (such as both having Link Number 1)).

For others that may come across this post, the link to the documentation for copying chart drawings between charts is here:
