Hello,
It is strongly advised to read:
and
as most "improvements" you mention already exist in one form
or another:
1. Already available. Select your drawing style from the
TOOLBAR (there is a color picker and style buttons) and THEN
draw.
2. Regular or thick - isn't it a way to control thickness?
Even thicker line will come in the future
"Use as default" - if you check this box and accept the
settings by clicking OK - all Fibonacci drawings that you
will draw later will use these settings.
It is NOT designed to "stick" it is rather
used to MARK when you want current settings to be applied as DEFAULT when you
click "OK".
It must not be sticky because NEXT time you may or may NOT
apply current (maybe different/modified) settings to be used as defaults
again.
So this box works as "This time save current
config as default setting".
4. Again - default color for new lines is available from
TOOLBAR just in front of your eyes. Select a color and thickness/style from
Toolbar PRIOR to drawing.
5. Again - color of the text is selectable the same way - from
the toolbar PRIOR to drawing. There are no other settings for texts as text uses
axis font
(user configurable from Tools->Preferences,
"Miscellaneous").
6. No it doesn't. Magnet (..e. Snap To Price
feature) is selectable the same way as color and style - PRIOR to drawing, from
the toolbar. Magnet has also USER-DEFINABLE
"sensitivity" zone.
(Tools->Preferences->Charting "Snap to price % threshold") - now if
cursor is closer to the price than user-defined threshold it snaps,
otherwise not.
Best regards,
Tomasz

Subject: RE: [amibroker] improving
drawing tools
There are a number of improvements needed to
the drawing tools. To name a few:
- There is no default
button to set line drawing defaults (the "General" tab). I find
that whenever I pickup a line drawing tool, I must configure the line type
and color to my standard because it constantly returns to dotted lines which
I don't use.
- There is no way to customize the thickness of line
drawing tools. In other charting programs I am able to vary the thickness to
indicate the importance of a line. With AB I am restricted to regular or
thick and solid or dotted.
- "Use as default" on the Fibonacci retracement and
expansion tools may or may not stick. I have had to make many attempts in
some cases before new default Fibonacci values stick. Again there is no
way to set defaults on the "General" tab.
- There is no way to set defaults
on the regression channel for extension and color of the regression line
(again the "General" tab). The extension is a particular PIA because it is
sometimes necessary to have the extension in order to properly "aim" the
channel.
- No way to set defaults on text tools and no way to
vary the font size.
- Magnet mysteriously turns itself off from time to
time.
A "default setting" should apply to every setting on
every tab of the settings dialog for a tool.
It would be far simpler to set defaults for the
drawing tools by right clicking on the tool on the toolbar to get a settings
dialog (with default button) which would remain in force until changed. This
would allow me to select the tool, right click for the settings I want, then
draw.
While I am writing, it would be nice to be able to
display custom time intervals (such as 2 minute) set in Preferences on
the View toolbar. Absent that, the "i" (Intraday) button should bring up a
selection list of the custom time intervals.

Hello,
Yes there is. As always, everything is in the
manual:
User's Guide:
Tools->Preferences dialog:
Drawing
- Return to select mode after drawing - when checked current tool
is deactivated after drawing and select mode is entered, when unchecked
currently selected drawing tool remains active after drawing (allows to plot
one study after another, note that the same effect can be achieved even if
this box is checked - it is enough to hold down SHIFT key while drawing and
the tool will remain active)
Best
