Hello Sierra Chart,
I have created a custom study that add lines to a chart using AddAsUserDrawnDrawing = 1; and AllowSaveToChartbook = 1;. As stated on https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ACSILDrawingTools.html#s_UseTool_AddAsUserDrawnDrawing, "A chart drawing added with AddAsUserDrawnDrawing set to 1 is not saved to a Chartbook like an actual user drawn drawing would be. Unless s_UseTool::AllowSaveToChartbook is set to 1."

When I "Hide All Chart Drawings" (Chart > Hide All Chart Drawings), the drawings don't hide. The only way to hide a line is by selecting the a line, right-clicking and selecting "Hide Drawing". The only way to unhide the drawing is through the "Manage Chart Drawings Window

Is this the intended functionality?

Thank you
