Post From: zig zag tool

alright lads, i'm using the zig zag tool but it has serious limitations i can't seem to the find the answer for elsewhere...

let me give you an example; let's say i use the tool to draw an upward zigzag pattern with say 3 bull lines and 3 bear lines. that's 6 lines in total.

let's then say i want to move the whole zigzag pattern. i can't move the whole pattern because the zig zag is made up of 6 independent lines. i have to move each line independently with the risk of not being able to replicate the pattern in the new location. it's very cumbersome.

i'd like to be able to group all 6 lines together and move it as a whole but i can't work out how to. i think 'grouping' drawings together would be an excellent feature to your excellent sierra charts program. (i also think if there was the capability of copying a drawing and being able to paste it in say another chart would be the icing on the cake?)

also, rather frustratingly, in the 'manage chart drawings' window, all the lines are listed independently too. it's frustrating for 2 reasons, firstly because the list of drawings in the window becomes very extensive and each one has to be labelled individually and, secondly, if i want to change the colour of the zigzag or the line width as a whole, i have to change each and every line individually.

is there a way around this or another tool you can suggest that allows me to do what i want as listed above please?
