how to expand the scale to normal proportions in region 2

this seems like it should be an extremely simple thing but it's proving to be headache worthy

I used "add additional symbol" for region 2. what i want is to have my trendlines on it. there is no way to copy drawings from another chart/symbol over to there. fine.

so what i want is to be able to expand region2, and draw my lines as i would be able to on a normal chart. okay, i can expand it, but something about the scale configuration for region 2+ is different. i cannot vertically (while still being proportional) expand the scale properly to allow me to draw trendlines of moderate timeframe

totally lost, can't think of a way to get around this (yes there's a reason why i'd like to have this done specifically in region 2+)

all i'm looking for is to be able to draw these lines in that region

since having discovered global cursor, this functionality in region 2+ no longer concerns me

True, that is a solution, just place the symbols in separate windows instead of regions and use the global cursor and/or chart properties to link the charts together so they scroll with the cursor.
Using Synchronize Charts mode is also useful, perhaps.

However, I tend to agree with your first question.


There should be a way to have expand a region to fill the entire window.
There should also be a way to collapse a region so that it doesn't show for a screenshot, etc.
We have the ability to show/hide regions, but nothing for maximize.
Also, there's no easy way to move a region up and down.

TradingView offers simple and intuitive controls built into the chart (direct manipulation)
It would be nice to see SierraChart invest heavily into direct manipulation technology instead of hiding things deep inside dialogs and menu structures.

Thank you.
