I have a situation where I use the Price Expansion tool to place Fibonacci levels on the chart. I also use the Horizontal Line Non-Extended tool to highlight key price points. If these two overlap at any level, I can only access whatever is on "top" (i.e. the last one moved or added to the chart). So, for instance, if I use the Horizontal Line Non-Extended tool to mark a price point on the chart, but then move (or add) my Price Expansion tool and one of the levels happens to sit over top of the Horizontal Line Non-Extended tool, I cannot select the Horizontal Line Non-Extended tool until I either move the Price Expansion tool out of the way, or use "Cut Drawing Here" or "Hide Level" on the Price Expansion tool to make the Horizontal Line Non-Extended tool accessible. But that, of course means, I then need to move the Price Expansion tool back to where it was, re-extend the Price Expansion tool, or unhide the level afterwards, all of which is kind of a pain. In certain graphics applications, when you have two object that overlap, there is often a means to access the one underneath without moving the one on top, like holding down the control key and then clicking on the layered objects to toggle between them to select the one you want. They also offer a means to move the one on top to the very "back" or "backward" to then make the one underneath accessible the next time you click on it. Either one of these options would be helpful to me if, in the example above, the Horizontal Line Non-Extended tool happens to be underneath my Price Expansion tool and I want to move or delete it. Hope this all makes sense. Maybe this option is already available and I just haven't figured out how to do it. If so, could you let me know how to do it? If not, could you give this some consideration at some point in the future? Thank you again for all you do to make Sierra Chart the best trading platform out there! Dan |
