Hi td_910, thank you for your note.

There are no StrokeStyle options in the standard Rectangle drawing tool. One would need to modify the "Shapes.cs" script and change line 776 where the Stroke object is made. You can change that line to something like this:

OutlineStroke = new Stroke(Brushes.CornflowerBlue, DashStyleHelper.Dash, 2f);

If you attempt to make a copy of the Shapes.cs script, you will get many duplicate definitions because of copying over a lot of extra emums and base classes that already exist in the original Shapes.cs file. If you would like to make your own copy of the Shapes drawing tool and change that one line you can. As an alternative, you can just open up the "@Shapes.cs" file in an external code editor, change the line and save it and NinjaTrader will think that is the original. You would need to replace the file every time you update.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
