Post From: Request - enhance Drawing objects and Management window

During my trading day, I have 6 charts - 3 time frames -- each 1 footprint & 1 candle stick. 6 total. I draw arrows, lines and annotate with text throughout the day. Many times I want to share. Sometimes only one specific object, sometimes I want to add / remove all of an object type. Or share / remove share or hide all objects created in a specific timeframe, but leave the others.
(Ex. Remove all text from long time frame chart but not across all other windows.


1 - Drawing manager window is across the entire chartbook - requiring a new column -> Chart #.

2 - Hide individual shared objects through Mgr window and ACSIL. Including the ability to hide an object on the created chart, but stay visible on other shared to charts.

3 - Allow individual drawing object sharing - with ability to specify which charts it is shared with.
-- this requires ability to maintain sharing both on Drawing Manager as well as within ACSIL.
-- this requires a new column, with multiple entries in it for 'Charts shared with'.
-- an alternative better method would be to have a column for each chart #.
this combined with the ability to sort on any column, gives me, the user complete flexibility in what I want to accomplish.
- Ex. hide all text items shared with me, just sort on shared with chart # column, then if a 2nd level sort were available,
sort on object type, or select at the top of the window, text objects only

4 - Make multiple selection automatic - more like the rest of the interfaces we are used to. Just click on a checkbox, on each line, or use mouse drag. Then be able to right click, and select action from a popup/dropdown menu. This would be much less mouse movement. Also allow keyboard movement up/down the list of items and pressing spacebar to select/un-select an item.

The ultimate would be the ability of the Drawing Manager window to be more like a rubics cube, with the ability to have 2 levels of sorting on any two columns.

How do others use SC and drawing objects? I am just trying to be more efficient.
