Hi,
Is there a tool that draws three extended parallel lines at one time and can be moved as a group?
Thanks.

Yes, the Parallel Rays tool. We are going to be reviewing and updating the documentation for this today.

Okay thanks. I tried this tool and was only able to get two parallel lines not three.

We have updated the documentation for Parallel Rays here:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_Tools.html#ParallelRays

You need to add additional lines through Level % settings in the Parallel Ray configuration window.

Hi,
I tried that earlier and I have attached a screenshot of how I configured the settings, but I still get only two lines. Also will the parallel lines tool do the same thing?
Thanks

A 100% level will not show an additional line. That will be drawn right on top of the second line. The documentation does explain this.

How far away, as a percentage, from the two parallel lines do you want additional lines?

Actually, what I would like is three parallel lines equidistant from each other (i.e. one line five points above the middle line and another line five points below the middle line). I would also like these three lines to move as a group if I select "move drawing" from the menu.
Thanks.

Set the third Level % to 200.
