How can Price Action Swing be set up so it does not enable the "Auto scale"

I apologize in advance for not being able to find the correct place to post this -it's my first time on the Forum.

Price Action Swing for NinjaTrader 8 draws all its ZigZag lines with the "Auto Scale" attribute checked.

This causes problems when a ZigZag line extends off the side of the chart: the chart's y-axis is automatically scaled to include the whole ZigZag line, even though only a part of it is visible.
This means the price action is compressed into a smaller-than-necessary part of the chart, i.e. it is compressed vertically. If the ZigZag line is a long one this compression can be severe.
The only workaround I have is to double-click the offending ZigZag line and uncheck its "Auto scale" option. The chart then re-scales so the prices aren't compressed.

How can Price Action Swing be set up so it does not enable the "Auto scale" option on its ZigZag lines please?

Deselect "Auto scale" under 'Visual' in the Properties of the indicator (and select OK).

Thanks Mich62, but that option was already de-selected. It seems to affect the position of the indicator on the chart, but doesn't apply to the objects drawn by the indicator.
