In a prior post I was asking for ACSIL access to shared user drawing API Is there ACSIL access to Shared Drawings properties? In thinking about it a different way, When I select in my chart #1 to share chart drawings from chart #2, It does not specify or ask if it is only to see shared "User" drawn or ACSIL drawn or ALL. But it only copies User drawn drawings. Sooo... I would think it should copy all chart drawings, or at the least have the option to the type of drawings to share. I know you folks are very busy on what you consider hot areas of development, and I do love your products over the other choices. But, please consider an update to this area of your product. It would also be great if you enhanced the ability of drawing management window to have the ability show and manage shared drawing that it can see as a column. This would allow the user to select which drawing are relevant for the time frame chart they are seen in. Please reach out if I can further provide info on this area, or clarify my idea / request. Hope you consider either ACSIL access to shared drawings (API) or get "Shared Drawings" to show all shared drawing, including ones created by ACSIL. JohnR

We do not know when we could get to the main point of your posting. But, in the meantime, there are two items you need to be aware of to see if they can help you. First, when you create a drawing using ACSIL, you can specify it as a "User Drawn Drawing", therefore it will get copied other charts. Refer to the following: Using Drawing Tools From an Advanced Custom Study: s_UseTool::AddAsUserDrawnDrawing Second, there is an option to specify a user drawn drawing not be copied to another chart. Refer to the following: Copying Chart Drawings from Other Charts Automatically: Preventing Specific Chart Drawings from Being Copied For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

First, Thank you for your time to reply with suggestions and also to look into this area - drawing objects. I am going to rework my logic on creating and maintaining my multi line objects. The reason, I was not using "User drawn" object type was the fact I was using one line # for all 'add-on' objects in an instance of each fan. The docs state you can not do that. from docs --> In the case of a user drawn drawing (s_UseTool::AddAsUserDrawnDrawing=1) and when s_UseTool::AddMethod == UTAM_ADD_ALWAYS, using the same LineNumber for a drawing will result in sc.UseTool returning 0 and the drawing will not be added. As with SC, there is usually more than one way to accomplish. If I want to share my 'add-on' drawings from chart to chart, how I maintain, modify and delete them will have to change. JohnR
