I'd like to add to my chart shortcut menu the ability to right click on a drawing, copy it's settings and then select a different drawing and paste those settings to the selected drawing.

Ex: from one horizontal ray, copy colors, text, alerts, et al and paste to another.

Further,

copy settings and save all those settings as a new drawing configuration.

Further, save those settings as a new button on my active tool bar.

Thanks for the consideration.

You can do this for a single drawing type. Get the settings as you want then save to a configuration.

If you want to then copy that configuration to another configuration slot, load the first configuration, make any changes, and then save the configuration to a different number.

Refer to the following:
Chart Drawing Tools: Using Multiple Drawing Tool Configurations

Refer to the following for assigning a tool and configuration to a control bar button:

Hi John- Thanks for the quick response, but I'm looking for a simple ad hoc copy & paste.

As you have seen, there is not one. Just what we described previously.

I understand. That's why I titled it "New Feature Request" for when the team is looking for something to do. :-)
