How to transfer chart drawings between two instances of sierra chart?

Dear SC-support-team,
dear SC-community,

I am looking for a efficient way to transfer chart drawings in form of horizontal lines and extended rectangels between two instances of sierra chart on two different devices. The two instances of sierra chart are exact copies of each other, i.e. the same symbols, in the exact same time frames, etc.

However, when drawing lines and rectangels in one instance, I don’t know where exactly these drawings are saved, and if its possible to just copy the respective file over to the other instance?

Or is there an other way to transfer chart drawings between two instances?

I highly appreciate any help! Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards

Chart drawings are stored in the Chartbook with the charts. So to get the data to another installation, you would have to copy the Chartbook file.

Thank you very much for the quick respons, it helped a lot and works just fine for my purposes.

However, after I copy/pasted all the chartbook files from one instance to the other, it now says "Waiting to Download Historical Data" in every single Intraday chart.

Do you maybe know the reason for that? The days to Load are different in both instances. Might that be the reason?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Any data that is not present in a system will need to be downloaded. Since the days to load are different, this would make sense, particularly if this is a Continuous Futures Contract chart.
