Ray Drawing number accessed by ACSIL study changes when ray moved

I have written a study using sc.GetUserDrawnChartDrawing that allows me to calculate the current price of a ray drawing for the current bar.

Often when I move the ray referenced by the study the drawing number changes and my study no longer works. I have to find the new drawing number and modify the study parameters to get it to work again.

Is there any way to either access a non-changing drawing identifier, or to create a ray with a static drawing number that won't change when it's modified or moved?

The only way to have a non-changing identifier for a Chart Drawing is to have it be added by a custom study and not manually by a user.

You will want to set the LineNumber. Refer to:

Actually, our answer previously may not be correct.

The LineNumber for the drawing should not change. We are checking on that.

The s_UseTool::LineNumber member variable for a Chart Drawing does remain constant, even if the drawing is moved.
