Hi,

When i've got an Extending Rectangle or Rectangle tool drawn on chart and I add a Horizontal line or Ray to the chart which aligns with the bottom or top of the Rectangle, then I can't see the line unless it's much thicker than the border of the Rectangle. Is it possible to add the option for the Rectangle tool to disable the border (like you can disable fill) or maybe just give precedence to the Line type tools. Or maybe even like on tradingview allow us to move the tools above or below other tools so we can chose what is visible and what is hidden

Thanks
S

To disable the border all you do is set the outline width to 0.

Unfortunately this does not (no longer) work. Minimum value for border width is 1. When entering 0 it autocorrects back to 1.
How can we hide outline borders? Being able to set value to 0 provides freedom on how the drawings are styled.

Is there a way to hide borders, when desired?

I'm currently using SC v2744.

For Rectangles, there is an option for "No Vertical Outline", so you can turn off the display of the left and right edges. But this is the only option. Refer to the following:

😢 Shame, 0 width borders was useful.

@Sierrachart Support:

Indeed, the freedom of having the ability to set value 0 was very convenient.
Is this a technical limitation?

Is there any chance to get this back in future releases?
