I've researched and think the answer is no, but thought I would poll the collective...

Is there a way to hide/show drawings by type?

On one chart, I'd like to be able to group drawings such as S/R lines, trend channels, notes, etc, but would like to be able to turn them on and off them independently in order to facilitate a more un-cluttered analysis.

I know SC unfortunately doesn't support "layers" in the traditional sense of Photoshop, et al, but don't know if there is another form of this functionality that I'm missing.

Thanks!

With the drop-down, you can manage the objects by type.

Thanks @LDog, that helps... I have added Manage Chart Drawings to a control bar so I can at easily access it. Not quite the functionality I was looking for, but as SC users know, sometimes we have to go through our asshole to get to our elbow haha. Much appreciated.

Yeah, I really like my Control Bars :-) (
I get along just fine with the 'free' SC (Package 3) from my broker - I just need to learn how to TRADE, lol.

Same here, on all fronts. The only thing Package 5 offers that I might be interested would be TPO profiles, but in all reality I can get overwhelmed with what I already have so... no need to add fuel to the fire LOL.

So true. So funny.
Still a lot better than anything else thats available imo. Everything else is just stinky turd with a sprinkling of glitter.
