Removing Legacy Draw Objects

[aligator]

Dear Support,

I used an indicator in the past that drew rectangles based on certain conditions. I no longer use that indicator. However, regardless of what chart template that I use now, these rectangles will not go away. See attached pic.

I have deleted the _Workspaces file and emptied the cashe folder. No effects.

Couple of Qs please:

How to get rid of these drawn objects that are showing up even on a clean price chart?
What does the "@" signify in front of the name of these objects in the picture?

Than you.

Drawing Objects can be applied to a specific chart (local), or to all charts of the same instrument (global). The '@' indicates a 'global' drawing object.

Are you able to manually delete this drawing object on your charts? If not, can you delete these permanently if you first change it to a local object? Follow these steps:

• Access the Drawing Object's properties from the Drawing Objects dialogue (see the "Understanding drawing object properties" section above)
• Locate the "Attach to" drop down menu and select "Instrument name" (All charts)

Thanks Patrick.

I am able to remove them manually, however once the chart is updated they come back. Also, the "Attached to" box under drop down menu is already "All charts" and grayed out and can not be changed.

Thanks.

Thanks Patrick,

I am using the latest 8.0.9.0 64-bit.
Also, going through your steps, the "Global Drawing Object" folder was already empty, nothing in there to delete.

Thanks.

We discovered that a custom add-on you had applied was drawing global objects automatically. The NinjaScript Team will be more than happy to assist you with adjusting this behavior in your code.

Thank you Patrick_G.

You and your Support Team Rock!

As suspected, the less obvious bool option for isGlobal in Draw.Rectangle overload was marked as true and that was the culprit. A simple change to false fixed the issue.

You guys are Fantastic!

Cheers
