Hi All:

I have very limited programming skills and but I am hoping some has answer on the following. I am hoping someone can tell me how to assign a shortcut key to delete all drawn objects on my the active chart. To the best that I can find, there is no hotkey to do it. I have to right click, select Drawing Tools and Remove Drawing Objects, and then Answer ok in the last window pop up every time I want to clear my chart or delete the items individually. Really a pain in the butt.

Scanning through the list of methods in the Ninja Help Guide shows the,
RemoveDrawObjects()

I am curious if it is possible to assign a hotkey, say Ctrl+Shift+F5 that will run the RemoveDrawObjects() to clear the drawn objects, fib ext/ retraces, lines, text, etc? Not sure that this method will is even for that purpose.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think there's one in 65, but 7's HotKey manager would have it AFAIK.

NT7 hotkeys can get you to the menu, but there is still no way to quickly remove all drawing objects. It has been requested numerous times, and is sitting on the mythical future considerations list along with all of the other items that would actually be useful and easy to implement.

Thanks aslan for those very true words !

Thanks aslan, right, but 'select all' would be checked so it's one more click for me (or pressing enter) and all draw objects are gone...but then I'm not a big 'drawer' throughout trading day
