Hello SC Team, As can be seen in my chart image below, I use many drawing objects to markup the charts. It would be extremely helpful to be able to use a mouse to click and drag to select all objects within a region and then delete them. Is this feature already built in and perhaps I missed the information on how to do it? If not, has this already been set as a user request? Thank you in advance, Mike https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=164895770716.png |

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, when a user has many drawing objects, the manage chart drawings window will not work very efficiently. This is because the objects are not in sequence, and the user may wish to delete 50 items, but still has to find them one by one. There are many features which I love about SierraChart - including its speed, reliability and customizability. This is one area where the competition is outpacing SC, as it is possible to select multiple objects and edit or delete them as a group in almost every other platform: TradingView, JForex, MT5, cTrader, etc. However, there are still too many things which SierraChart can do which put other applications to shame. It would be great if SC could eventually bridge this gap in the user's ability to select, modify, and delete multiple items at once. Thank you for your consideration, Mike |

Having a way to directly manipulate objects would really be nice. Not sure if SierraChart can manage to reproduce what miro.com has done with direct manipulation of objects, but there is some magic there in terms of manipulation. Grouping objects and moving them together is easy. Rubber banding objects is simple. Duplicating objects with holding down alt and using the mouse or the keyboard is beautifully engineered. Refining positions without snapping by using ctrl is also well done. Snapping of previous objects to new objects and automatically finding the edges and showing he snap guides are also very visual and elegant. And the ability to export it all as vector graphics in a PDF so that it can be zoomed on any platform and maintain it's quality without graphical jaggies caused by bitmaps and the ability to search the text on the chart or through a chartbook or an entire directory of chart PDFs would be fantastic. I also like the floating properties bar. It's so nice to just click on an object and have all the tools available to modify it right there without a popup menu. I've mentioned before that if we could have a floating properties window that changes based on the object selected, it would be great. The window could move with the user (as it does with miro) or it could be at a fixed position on the page (like tradingview does) or it could be dockable (like visual studio code). Having an object inspector like that always available would make it much easier for new people to the platform and even for people that have scripted and hotkeyed all their favorite settings for those situations where they want to just change one little detail, but can't find it. Giving the complexity of designing user interfaces, however, it might be better to just offer a chat gpt style panel that lets you type stuff like "grab all the objects on the screen and group them as "scenario 1" and hide them" and let it just write the ACSIL code and execute it for you. I'm sure eventually people will just want to talk to the interface and having the chat already there and understanding at least basic commands, would be great. Still, tactile editing that makes SierraChart feel like annotating on paper may be a good investment. Someday perhaps. |

Bump Can you guys implement Control + drag to be able to select multiple drawings and delete them together ? Just like how it is in windows to select what you want with control + drag. Thanks |
