Hi support (or anyone else), I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to do this, and if not then I would like to suggest it as a feature. When using a text tool, instead of clicking on the chart, right clicking, clicking 'modify text', deleting the default text, entering my text, and then clicking ok, is there a way to make this a bit more streamlined? i.e. a) click on the chart, the text properties window immediately appears so I can start entering my note right away or even better: b) click on the chart, a cursor appears directly on the chart and I can immediately start entering my note without even needing to go in to a separate text properties window and then having to clicking "ok". The idea would be when I select the text tool and click on the chart, I can start entering my note, and then when I click anywhere else on the chart, it exits editing mode and my text is now in place with the proper font settings according to the tool config that I chose on the toolbar before I clicked on the chart. I know this might sound trivial but when going through large numbers of charts entering notes, a more streamlined process would be really great. |

1. Use the Text Tool: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/Tools.html#TypeText It does exactly what you want. Not sure why you are asking this. It works exactly as you want. It immediately displays a text box to input the text. 2. Exactly what you are describing, is not available, and we would not add it. So please do not ask. There is no chance this would happen.

1. Now we understand why you are asking. What you have done is in the Type Text Drawing Tool Configuration, you have preset some text. Remove that and then you will be prompted for the text every time you use the tool.
