Is their a way to adjust the line drawing tool opacity?

It covers up important info on my chart and makes it difficult to see. Thanks

There is not an option for a Transparent Line. Transparencies in general, create a lot of overhead and make the graphics very sluggish.

But, there are options for where the drawings are placed - either above or below the main price graph. Refer the following setting and the one before it:
Chart Settings: Draw Highlight Drawings Underneath Main Graph and Studies (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Drawings menu)

Then why is it possible on a extended rectangle to change the inside opacity ?

We did set up some of the drawings to have it, but lines do not.

Just what are called the "Highlight" drawings have the transparency option. These are the Rectangle | Extending Rectangle | Ellipse | Triangle.
