Subject : RE: How do I draw a ppitchfork or parallel line?

Hey! Thanks!

On the parallel line tool, once I get the draw cursor, left click, drag, and release to anchor the trend line. Then left click on the parallel line and drag up and down to change the distance between the two parallel lines.

The pitchfork is similar. Left click, drag, and release to set the initial angle and display the 4 adjusting handles. Then left click on the handles and drag them to change the angle and width of the pitchfork.

I am having more success clicking on the lines and handles if I have the crosshair tool working when selecting the drawing components. My cursor and the crosshair are slightly different locations, and this drawing stuff is unforgiving.

(So between dark blue drawings on a black chart, and a handful of pixels difference in where I am pointing and where OT thought I was pointing, I understand why I was having difficulties...)

It would be nice to have a magnet setting for picking lines and handles when in drawing mode. (Like if I am within X pixels of a line or handle, call it close enough...)

One issue I am seeing is that the Ellipse drawing tool doesn't honor the color setting for the actual ellipse line. Only the line connecting the start and end points is drawn in the color I specify. This is a bug IMO.

Thanks again for your help.
