Delete drawing with right click

Hi Support,

I went to Global Settings / Tool settings and enabled both "Enable Delete Selected Drawing with Right Click" and "Double Click on Drawing Brings Up Drawing Properties".

Now delete with right click works perfect and double click on regular drawings works fine, but not on volume profiles. Since I have many volume profiles on my chart is there a way to open the properties window without going to the Studies screen?

Also, is there any other shortcut to see the right-click menu for drawings?

Thanks,
Juliano

If the Volume Profile you are referencing was a "Drawn Volume Profile" (i.e. it was added through the drawing tool and not directly as a study), then you can right-click on that "drawing" and select Volume Profile Settings, which will take you to the Study Settings for that Volume Profile.

There is no other method other than Right-Clicking to bring up the Drawings Shortcuts.

Ok, I found the solution (by myself). When I select any drawing including the volume profile and right-click, the drawing gets deleted. But if I don't select the drawing and just right-click over it, I can then see the menu for that drawing and select the properties window (or any other option I want).

So problem solved.

The problem is you enabled this and you need to disable it:
Chart Drawing Tools: Enable Delete Selected Drawing With Right Click (Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> General >> Tool Options)

Yes, but I want to keep using the right-click button to delete, so my solution works fine.
