I was developing a large system with one signal when I ran into the
PowerEditor parsing limit bug that I just reported.  To get around that
bug, I split my signal up into two (even though I had to duplicate a lot of
code).

I discovered that if a system contains two signals, then only the trend
lines (drawn with TL_New) from the second signal show up on the chart.
Actually trend lines from both signals were shown while it was recomputing
the system, but when computation was done and the screen refreshed, only
the lines from the second signal were left.

I consider this a severe bug (unless the PowerEditor parsing limit can be
fixed) and would like an estimate asap as to when this can be fixed.

I suspect that if a system contains N signals, only the lines from the Nth
signal will be shown and all others won't.  I only tested the N=2 case.

I wouldn't Also note that the TL_New documentation (online) doesn't say
anything about returning the drawing object number.  Fortunately I
remembered this from TS4.  This should be corrected for new TS2000 users.

I didn't check if this was also a problem for text drawn with Text_New.
Please investigate this at the same time as I will need that functionality
as well.

For what it's worth...  While I was debugging this issue, I printed out the
 references for each trend line as it was created with TL_New.  From what I
read in the documentation on TL_New, each drawing object is labeled from 0
to X with each drawing object of the same type being different.  In my
PRINT log, I was getting several trend lines with the same number from
within the same Signal (but then they didn't show up on the screen).

The TL_New documentation (online) doesn't say anything about returning the
drawing object number.  Fortunately I remembered this from TS4.  This
should be corrected for new TS2000 users.

Thanks,
Dave
