After pressing {Del} to enable Deletion mode to switch on, what is the next key to then execute the deletion of the now selected object. Logically this should be {Enter}, but so far only a primitive point & click seems to work. Please advise.

Using the {Del} key is to allow you to select a specific object to delete. You can then left-click your Pointer on the Chart Drawing to delete the particular Chart Drawing. There are several different methods available to delete Chart Drawings. The documentation for erasing/deleting drawings is here: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/Tools.html#ErasingChartDrawings For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-11-14 18:05:12

I already know the ins and outs of Object Deletion. Let me explain further. Say there are two charts, A and B. Object drawn on A is copied to B as they are linked. Now I am on chart B, the only way to delete the object is to involve some point and click. Fair enough it is not the master chart for the object, but there definitely should be the same action as pointing and clicking using the button enter... it seems very user-UNfriendly. Please replicate the scenario yourselves and see what I mean. |

We do not see what you mean. We do not identify any problem. The method to erase drawings is the same whether the drawing is on the source chart or a destination chart and the methods are documented here: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/Tools.html#ErasingChartDrawings We would not expect any other user to have a problem. And if they do, they can let us know here after reading this thread. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

I don't know how this is so difficult........... A box on a destination chart must be clicked, either before or after, in order to be deleted. A box on a source chart does not need to, you can simply use Tools >> Erase Last Drawing Can you just rectify this please. Do you want me to pay you for the job? You simply need to let Sierra recognise that the [enter] key is the same as a 'click' after 'Tools >> Erase Drawing Mode' has been enabled. |

OR Simply make the Tools >> Erase Last Drawing work on both a source chart AND a destination chart. This makes NO sense that a trader should scroll to the source chart in order to delete an object which has functionality to duplicate to other charts. What is the meaning of this? The object is the object and has equal priority across the charts it is linked to. The user should have freedom to delete where he pleases just as he can create where he pleases.. it is counter-intuitive and dysfunctional to then try and recollect which one is the master chart. Tradestation and many other platforms don't have this limitation so why do we? |

Really? Try and do Tools >> Erase Last Drawing: The Erase Last Drawing command erases the last drawn Chart Drawing or Text. This command does not apply to Chart Drawings which have been copied from other charts. On a destination chart with an object copied from a different chart. |

At this point you are an abuse to Sierra Chart engineering. Anybody can see that. We should not even be responding to this level of absurdity. And it is not just simply one engineer pointing it out. There is another senior engineer, just looking at what you are saying and just recognizing that it is nonsensical. He was pointing out that you did not even explain that you were following this method originally. And your further statements (the last quoted part in #7), are just not even true. We have explained of the Erase Last Drawing command does not apply to copied chart drawings. It cannot possibly do that. There is no way we can know which one is the last drawn drawing whether on the chart being interacted with or a copied drawing. And they are held in different containers. That command only operates on the container containing the drawings drawn on the chart itself. The documentation we linked to documents 10 different methods to delete/erase chart drawings copied from other charts. All of the other methods work and you are just simply ignoring that. You are just looking at is one particular item. The documentation is there for a reason and you must read it. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
