AFTER SAVING A WORKSPACE (with a new name) ALL THE DRAWING OBJECTS went crazy

[Don David]

After saving with a workspace,under new name the drawing objects went crazy: in charts some drawing objects were multiplied by 5 (I have 5 charts for each workspace), in other charts some objects disappeared and, in the list of all drawing objects properties, they were detached to the specific charts. And some objects had their names changed.
I am sending the screenshots below.



P.S. my computer, I7 8th generation, etc, has more than enough capability to run your software version;
PS 2. My Ninjatrader is: 8.0.17.2 64-bit

I see that you're using an older version of NinjaTrader 8. To update NinjaTrader, please follow the steps below.

• First, copy your license key from NinjaTrader under Help> License Key then exit NinjaTrader
• Click on the link: http://ninjatrader.com/PlatformDirect
• Enter your license key and press Submit
• Select 'NinjaTrader 8'
• Select 'Download'
• Critical: Before running the installer, ensure NinjaTrader is closed.

Can you reproduce this issue? Or did it seem to be a one time event?

Hi Patrick,

No good news.

Already with a new version installed, the same problem occurred:

Where is the specific workspace code stored? What I want is just to change the name and keep the drawings that have already been made, without having to start everything from the beginning.

The workspaces are saved as XML files in the Documents > NinjaTrader 8 > workspaces folder. Are these all local drawing objects? Or global drawing objects?

[Don David]

Fantastic. After testing the hypothesis of local / global drawing objects I lost all my study of the last 3 months.

Can you go into further detail about what occurred? What/how were you testing?
