Are these drawings on Futures charts? And if so, are the drawings disappearing around the time of the rollover of the contract?

Drawings are attached to the chart and symbol. When the symbol for the chart changes, the drawing will go away, unless you have the option to display drawings for other symbols. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Show Chart Drawings For Different Symbols (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Drawings menu)

The other thing is that when a chart rolls over, you can have the drawings updated to the new symbol. If you select the Chart >> Perform Futures Symbol Rollover you will see an option for Also Rollover Chart Drawing Symbols. Enabling this when you perform the rollover will change the symbol on the drawings so they can be viewed in the new contract.

If you forget to do this, you can always select Update Chart Drawings to Current Symbol. Refer to the following:
Chart Menu: Update Chart Drawings to Current Symbol (Chart menu)

Another possibility is simply that the price has changed enough that the drawings are no longer visible. Check the Tools >> Manage Chart Drawings Window to see if the drawings are still there and not visible, or if they are actually gone for some reason.

If it appears to be something else, then the first place to start is the Tools >> Manage Chart Drawings Window and whether the drawings are actually present or not. If not, then you will need to determine why they have been deleted.
