Hello, I want to report an ACSIL limitation regarding drawings that has come to my notice. I don't know if you are aware of this, but only two and in some other cases just one s_UseTool instances of the same drawing type that are called on the same chart index are drawn on the chart. In most cases, the one or two drawings that are finally drawn are the most recent ones that have been called within the study. I found this by accident because a text drawing wouldn't appear on the chart even though the conditions were met. There were two other text drawings that were called at the same index in my study and only when I removed one of them I got the text to appear.

How do you have the s_UseTool::AddMethod set?

I have looked into this again and the only way to call multiple s_UseTool instances of the same drawing type at the same index is to set s_UseTool::AddMethod to UTAM_ADD_ALWAYS. However, when I do this I can't stop drawings to appear more than once at the last bar of real-time charts since s_UseTool::AddMethod needs to be set to UTAM_ADD_OR_ADJUST. I haven't found a way to fix both of these issues at the same time.

This is not correct. You can accomplish what you want. Check the example when it comes out. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

I also have the same issue where I can't add multiple rectangle drawings at the same index unless I assign the line number myself. The auto assign gives the same linenumber at that index unless it is a level or a horizontal line. I had to write a seperate class to store and and generate line numbers to ensure their uniqueness. But it is still less than ideal because the only way it works is if all the studies I am using are compiled in the same dll. I wonder if this can be changed so that it will auto assign a unique number to all drawings at the same index. |

This is not correct: The auto assign gives the same linenumber at that index unless it is a level or a horizontal line.
The Line Number is always unique and automatically assigned so long as you do not reuse the s_UseTool structure or call the Clear function on it.
