Lines, rays, and cutting drawings

I notice that after laying down a ray and using cut (so that I don't continue to see the ray all across the chart), that the anchor point shifts to the end of the ray - basically making it a line. Is it possible to preserve the anchors points and just clip past the part where I cut?

In relation to this it would be pretty helpful to have a kind of partially extended ray. It extends but not forever. You'd think you could do this with a line, but it won't be accurate due to the anchor point resting on nothing.

It's pretty common through the day to draw temporary supply and demand lines that don't need to litter the chart for the rest of time, but only be accurate for that particular day.

So something as simple as a limiting the extension of a ray is getting pushback from you guys?

Ever done any serious trading with supply/demand lines all over the chart? We cannot just remove all rays whilst leaving support resistance lines either. It's tedious to clean up and it makes traders jobs more efficient. Ultimately that's why we use a piece of software.

Not asking for a new tool here but simply a parameter. The people using volume based or non time based charts are screwed with the line tool. It won't track reliably and there's basically no benefit to connecting two candle wicks with a line (the only way to make it reliably stay put) for trading purposes.
