Hi, anchors for rectangles, extended rectangles, and horizontal rays (perhaps others?) are automatically being reset to the same datetime on my TPO chart (presumably when the single bars are collapsed into a profile). What can I do to set & fix the anchors to the original date-time? Having these things change is a nightmare for any type of historical analysis. Thanks! Edit: Expanding/collapsing the profiles right after creating the drawings won't cause this to occur. I believe it occurs after SC has been closed/started (and the chartbook saved).

We did not notice any problems with drawings being properly displayed on a TPO Profile chart after saving and reopening a Chartbook. We need specific instructions to reproduce.

Aside from TPO whatever that is, I've been having this same problem for a few weeks now. All my rectangles collapse to lines after a day has passed. My rays are also in different locations. If I save, close and reopen the program right away, no issues but the next day when I reopen program all rectangles are collapsed and my rays are in different locations. Happens all the time. I downloaded latest version a day or so ago. Same problem

In my case, the issue could (I can't reproduce it consistently) be due to a custom study that queries drawing properties. As far as I understand it, the 'X' coordinate of a profile is the leftmost bar. My study's query may be forcing a re-assignment of the drawing anchors' 'X' coordinate to this leftmost bar's value for drawings that are 'inside' a profile if that profile was subsequently collapsed. The reason for this is something only SC engineering can answer. Or maybe we are experiencing the same issue...see if these links help you out.

Thank you for the links. Will try a few things now. Edit: That helped! I found my problem. The end points of my drawings would go past current data. Again, appreciate the link. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-11-18 16:15:30
