Hello, I have built a power meter by detaching them and shrinking them down to small columns. My problem is when I restart my platform, the charts grow in size an overlap. How can I make them stay the size I set and not change after restart? Thanks, |

They should not be changing size when you restart Sierra Chart. Are you using multiple monitors and the windows are not starting on the monitor you had them on when you exited the software?

Here is what I did. I created 6 new charts in total. I detached them individually and reduced the sizes to create columns side by side and moved them to a separate monitor. They are all about 1" in width. When I close the platform and reopen, the width of the chart widens to about double in size and the columns overlap each other. Not sure why the size changes. The chart windows are staying on the monitor they are just changing their width for some reason.

Can you please get us images of "before" and "after" for one of these windows so we can see what you are seeing.

The problem is that the operating system has a minimum size for a window and if you make the size manually smaller, when the window is created again, Sierra Chart cannot set it back to that smaller size.
