Post From: Copy Chart Drawings from Chart Numbers - does not work

I have already read "Chart Drawings Are Misaligned After Changing the Period / Timeframe Per Bar" in the documentation, but it does not explain away this problem.

Try the following scenario.

Chart 1
1. Create a 60 min chart of Gold futures (GC).
2. Draw some long trendlines spanning 4-6 weeks, and shorter ones also.
3. Change the intraday chart bar period to Range per Bar standard (in ticks) with a value of 5.
4. Trendlines look perfect and are where they should be.

Chart 2
1. Create a 60 min chart of Gold futures (GC).
2. Use "Copy Chart Drawings from Chart Numbers" and copy from chart 1 above.
3. Trendlines look fine.
4. Change the intraday chart bar period to Range per Bar standard (in ticks) with a value of 5.
5. Trendlines are NOT where they should be, and off by very far, not just a little.

Since both charts were 60 min charts when the drawings were initially copied over, there should not be a problem later when changing the intraday bar period.
