Can’t edit or save shapes/horizontal zone tools specifically
-
As you can see in Pic1, hovering the RECTANGLE icon and clicking it will open a window where you can select “Edit tool“. This, as shown in Pic2, will open the small editor tool to modify the rectangle. Once done, save it.
I hope this helps 🙂
Iván González thanked this postI just tried with my ‘EOD data free Complete v13’ and I got same as Roberto shows above.
Aha but NO, there is something weird … the settings don’t save against ‘untitled’ config !?
Only way I got the new setting / red rectangle was to draw in default blue, then select the rectangle then select GH Pref Config to get a red rectangle … see attached.
In other words, when I right click on rectangle > Edit, it always opens in untitled / default settings (even though I closed the Edit settings in GHPref with a red config).
If I am doing this wrong, let me know please?

Hello, apologies for the delay in my reply I only just returned to my desk.
I attached the box that I’m referring to – I can open the Ruler when I right click and press Edit Tool, but if I do the same specifically for Rectangle and Horizontal Zone, no box appears at all – even under the charts or background etc.
@Grahal: Try above in v12 just to see if it is possible and in v12 it is okay?
@GraHal – I don’t have any prior versions of PRT – v13 is my first time using it, which I am using under a free trial at present.
Sorry if this isn’t much help – just sharing because I use these two drawing tools specifically on TradingView 🙁

Do you not see attached when you login, see 2 red arrrowheads on attached.
Also I am confused why your ss shows edit options for the ‘Format’ tool, but your Objects Toolbar doesn’t even show the rectangle tool?
Which image are you referring to that comes from TradingView?
@GraHal your workaround works, thanks. It is now added to the toolbar.
Still weird that it won’t just open the box like it does with the ruler tool.

Just a quick one on this – when I go to launch my desktop platform it opens a web browser page and that is all I currently see – at least on my launch page it doesn’t seem to give me the option to use the older version.
Appreciate the help though – as mentioned above the workaround has allowed me to adjust and save a new default for the tools I wanted.
