Hello John Al.S was a programmer with SC a long way back. I hope the following explains my issue a little better. Customize Toolbar >> Add Custom Text Drawing (CTD?) >> Set Custom Text >> "Next Text Tool" is the GoTo location. So, if I set the above as I speak to: Drawing Text "ABC" Text Color "0,0,255" Next Text Tool "None" so it remains on the currently selected Button/Text Tool. In the Properties option of the Button I'll also set: Caption "ABC" Once selected, every time I left-click the chart it places "ABC" as expected. However, if I modify one of the placed text, or even simply >> Copy and Move Drawing; then on the next left-click it has changed its setting to a different type of tool along with the text saved in the location Tool Configs. (TC22). I have tried it multiple times and again using the steps set-out above, just to be sure but on each occasion the selected Custom Text Drawing tool (CTD) becomes a Custom Drawing Tool (CDT), with it's settings derived from Tool Config. (TC22). Please do not deselect the the current tool by selecting the Pointer or Cross-hair. Just select one of the text that has been placed by the tool and use 'Copy and Move.' This is the order of events I would use when having placed the text and then copying it to another location for minor changes/edits. Even with a clean chart a left-click now places a completely different tool as described above. I hope this is more helpful. Also the PC is dedicated to SC. Nothing else of any consequence is running. Many thanks. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-06-07 05:14:21
