Post From: ACSIL: short horizontal line tool

This can be done in ACSIL. It involves a drawing tool and requires capturing toolbar button and/or mouse pointer events and attaching the code to an ACS tool button and/or right-click menu. IMO it's not worth the time to write and test. As a really easy alternative, I thought you could save a line tool config. But for the line tool, only the cosmetics (color, linewidth, end markers, extensions, etc) are saved as a configuration. Length (or location anchors), slope, etc are not saved in a line tool configuration. So that's not an option. If it was me, I would keep a line, sized and sloped as you desire, in an out of the way area of your chart. When needed, just "copy and move". (Select the line -> right-click -> select copy and move menu item). To change colors you can 1) use a saved tool config (which has toolbar buttons), 2) change the drawing properties directly, or 3) have multiple items in the out of the way area to copy. Hope that helps. |
