Copy+Paste problems

[NinjaTrader_Brett]

Hello,

Ok I have tested that and can confirm it.

This has to due with purely the snap mode.

When the snap mode is enabled it will snap the drawing objects anchor on move. This is expected as it is simply doing what you have set it to do.

By setting snap mode you disabled to disable any snapping that might occur that changes the line/angle on the line.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hello Brett,

Thanks, ok I understand it.

But why if I set "Equidistant bar spacing" to "False", the duplicated lines are parallel even if "Snap Mode" is set to "Disabled"? I do not understand this.

I have another question if you do not mind. Sometimes when I am trying to duplicate a line, I select it, I press Ctrl-c + Ctrl-v and nothing happens, there is not duplicated line. I have to draw a new line and then yes, I can duplicate it with Ctrl-c + Ctrl-v.

Hello,

It is my understanding the dupicated lines are always correct when snap mode is disabled correct?

Also, are you able to reproduce this? If so I would like to login to the PC and then assist with looking into this with you.

I look forward to assisting you further.

Hello Brett,

Yes, if I set "Snap Mode" to "Disabled" and "Equidistant bar spacing" to "False" the lines are parallel. These are the steps I follow:

File > Workspaces > New workspace
File > New > Chart (In my case ES 06-11 and I press OK)
I set "Snap Mode" to "Disabled"
I set "Equidistant bar spacing" to "False"
I draw an "Extended Line"
I select it and Ctrl-c + Ctrl-v
The line is parallel.
I create other duplicated lines (I press Ctrl-v) and all of them are parellels.

That is what I wanted to explain before. Can you reproduce this?

Hello,

Yes I can reproduce this. This is working as expected. It is expected you get parrelel lines when you copy extended lines with snap mode disabled.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hello Brett,

Thanks for your answer. I do not know if I have understood, you say that

It is expected you get parrelel lines when you copy extended lines with snap mode disabled.

Then I do not understand why does this happen:

• I create a new workspace.
• I create a new chart.
• I set "Snap Mode" to "Disabled".
• I create an "Extended line".
• I duplicate that line (Ctrl-c + Ctrl-v) The line is not parallel ---> This line should be parallel because "Snap Mode" is set to "Disabled".
• I set "Equidistant bar spacing" to "False".
• I duplicate that line (Ctrl-c + Ctrl-v) The line is parallel.

Hello,

I cannot duplicate this on my side :

I create a new workspace.
I create a new chart.
I set "Snap Mode" to "Disabled".
I create an "Extended line".
I duplicate that line (Ctrl-c + Ctrl-v) The line is not parallel ---> This line should be parallel because "Snap Mode" is set to "Disabled".


AT the last step here my extended line is parallel. No issues.

Best to email me at support at ninjatrader dot com attn: Brett and reference this thread so I can login to your PC.

I look forward to assisting you further.
