Hello,
I am using the Extending Rectangle drawing tool.
I would like to change and persist the default Fill Color and Fill Transparency so that every new Extending Rectangle uses those settings instead of the default green.

I can change these properties on an existing rectangle, but after restarting Sierra Chart, new rectangles still use the original default.

Could you please confirm:

The correct procedure to save default settings for the Extending Rectangle tool, and

Whether this is supported in the current version or requires editing a configuration file / global settings?

Thank you.

Whatever configuration you last used is the one that will be used going forward.

So what you want to do is setup a configuration the way you want it and then make sure that configuration is selected prior to drawing the rectangle. Then each rectangle drawn from that point forward will use that same configuration, until you specifically change it.

Refer to the following:
