Line Draw not Attaching to All Charts

[deurich]

The chart is CL 03-10. It should have 2 black lines running in a diagonal from bottom to top right starting at 72ish to 78ish in price.

Numerous horizontal lines at 72, 72.50, 74.50, 75ish, 78ish, 80ish.

deurich,

When was the global draw object drawn? Was it a really old drawn object?

[deurich]

The majority were old but I believe I had a couple of new lines (i.e., within the latest B9 release)?

I did notice however, that the lines were sometimes disappearing after I put monthly pivots as an indicator. I had daily and weekly on there but after the monthly addition sometimes lines would disappear and I would have to close the chart and relaunch and my lines would come back - -but not this last time.

deurich,

Unfortunately I was unable to reproduce. We did isolate one case where global draw objects were disappearing in the next version. Hopefully it addresses your issues as well. Please try again in the next version.

Hi guys,

To chime in here also, I am experiencing the same problem, for whatever reason, randomly when I set a horizontal line to apply to all charts it will apply it to all charts at the time of setting it global but when one then moves to another instrument or changes the template, I think basically it's the function that reloads the global objects, it's losing some of the global lines on the charts. Not all, just some, can't for the life of me isolate what set of steps causes it to lose the line but it is definitely happening.

I have resorted to drawing boxes with my lines so that I know if a box is sitting on it's own that a line needs redrawing.

Follow up, I have found a step of steps that causes my horizontal lines to drop.

Perhaps you guys could try your side and see if it is doing the same, so we can attain whether it's something in my set up or it's a general issue. I can't believe that if it's as simple as this that allot of other folks wouldn't be reporting. So:

1. Create a Horizontal line.
2. Set the horizontal line to global.
3. Change instrument on chart to another instrument using top left drop down.
4. Go back to original instrument and check that horizontal line is still there. (it should be).
5. Now move the horizontal line to a different area of the chart on the Y axis.
6. Again change chart to a different instrument using top left drop down.
7. Go back to original instrument. (My global line has now vanished). Is yours still there?

I can make a video of it if you wish.

Cheers

Ross,

Thanks for the detailed steps. I walked through them on our current (not yet released) Beta 10 and the line stayed as expected. It is possible that something might have been fixed in this area with Beta 10 that we will release next week. Could you try these exact steps again with Beta 10. If you can still reproduce, the next step would be for us to get a workspace from you that contains a chart where you can reproduce this behaviour.

Thanks Ray, will do.

[deurich]

Seems to have been fixed in B10. All the lines that I have drawn and disappeared have all shown back up in B10. I now have a zillion lines everywhere but at least they are showing!

Thanks for reporting back. Glad it works. If you wish to quickly remove the line you can right click on the chart and select Remove Draw object and select all objects.

Yeah same here, working like a charm now.

Great news. Thanks for reporting back as well.
