Path Icon in Drawing tool tile

[Alfred]

This is minor...but could the Path icon display correctly in the Drawing tool tile...

Thanks much for the new Path tool and the Drawing tool tile.... both are great additions....

Hello Alfred,

What version of NinjaTrader 8 are you using? (Help > About. e.g. 8.0.X.X)

[Alfred]

Am using 8.0.17.2 ....
The 2 additional pens at bottom of tile are for custom draw tools....

Hello Alfred,

The Drawing tool tile indicator does not have the Path tool in it.

It also is not able to show custom drawing tools either.

Are you certain that you are using the Drawing tool tile indicator provided by NinjaTrader?

Did you make a copy of it and modify the copy and this is what is on the chart?

If this is the Drawing tool tile script included with NinjaTrader and not a modified copy, please let me know and I will provide instructions to run the repair from the NinjaTrader installer to replace all of the system indicator files with the original versions.

Hi...no modifications made....works the same on 2 machines. The 2 custom draw tools show up on the Drawing tools list in the Drawing tool tile indicator and the 2 pens work OK on those. The pen works OK on the Path tool too...it's just that the Ninja Path tool icon does not show correctly in the tile indicator.
This is working OK for me at this point....

Hello Alfred,

This is not correct.

Attached is a screenshot of how the Drawing tool tile is designed to look.

This is only meant to include the Line, Fibonacci retracements, Rays, Fibonacci extensions, Extended lines, Ellipses, Horizontal lines, Rectangles, Vertical lines, and Text. There shouldn't be anything else.

Please send an email to platformsupport [at] ninjatrader [dot] com so that I can take a look with you on your end, see if I can figure out what is modifying the indicator, and then run the repair.
In the email, please include a link to this forum thread.

Thanks Patrick...

Also, if there is some way to assign an icon to custom draw tools for the Drawing tool tile....that could be good, if not too difficult...

Hello Alfred,

Thank you for your response.

I will forward that suggestion along.

[Alfred]

This is looking at how the tile can obscure the chart offset arrow...with possible solutions.
And there may be similar problems when chart trader is on....maybe it is up to the user to locate the tile then ??

Alfred,

Upon further investigation by Quality Assurance this will be fixed in 8.0.18.0. with Fix ID# 13539

I do not have an ETA at this time, but when a new version releases you will find it in the release notes: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...ease_notes.htm

Please let me know if you have any questions.
