Move, lock and remove drawings

Select and restyle

Click a drawing to select it. A toolbar appears above the chart:

Double-click a drawing for its settings dialog — or, on a text tool, to edit the text. Right-click it for Clone, Hide, Settings…, Lock and Remove.

Move

• Drag a handle to move one point.
• Drag the body to move the whole drawing. It moves in whole bars, so it lands on the bars you dragged it over even across a gap in the tape. The chart holds still underneath while you drag.
• Press Esc mid-drag to put it back where it was.

Lock

A locked drawing can’t be dragged or deleted by accident, and its settings dialog stays closed to edits until you unlock it from the toolbar. Delete, the toolbar’s Remove and the rail’s remove-all all leave it alone and say so.

The rail’s Lock drawings button locks the whole chart: no new drawings and no deletes until you unlock it.

Hide

The rail’s hide button hides every drawing. Its arrow narrows that down: Hide drawings, Hide indicators, Hide positions and orders, Hide all, or Show hidden drawings.

Remove

The rail’s remove button clears the chart. Its arrow says exactly what it’s about to take:

Says exactly what it will remove

• Remove N drawings, Remove N indicators, or Remove N drawings & M indicators.
• Always remove locked drawings — turn it on and remove-all takes locked drawings too. It’s the only way past a lock.
