UseTool drawing and duplicating chart

Hi SC Engineering,

In some custom study I draw something on a chart with UseTool and set AddAsUserDrawnDrawing to true. When the chart with this study is duplicated I end up with two userdrawings on that chart. This is happening because the LineNumber for that study starts as zero on the new chart so the study draws a new drawing, and the original drawing is duplicated in the chart duplication process. The result is that I lose control of the duplicated drawing and this drawing also remains visible when the study is removed.

Any tips to manage this?

Kind regards,
Frederik

We assume this happens because you are saving the line numbers in persistent variables and those are cleared when a chart is duplicated.

The only thing we can think is to store the line number in sc.StorageBlock.
