I’d like a tool that allows me to draw something like a zig/zag easily. Currently, I think you have to draw 3 separate lines (or duplicate a line 2 additional times). So, I’m looking for something that starts drawing and then each click creates a pivot point. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/tradingforum/original/1X/866b66a6b4504c49ff073e7b961a1176e5d97004.png) ---

We will be adding a “Multiline” tool to the drawing tools: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/tradingforum/original/2X/8/893fee7ee9f49abdc4084e8b215f77cf8d0c4bcc.png) Which will allow you to draw multi-segment lines ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/tradingforum/original/2X/5/5cd1a6aa58df643f163fe3ec1ac9fea5a2733875.png) We will be introducing the same concept to drawing closed shapes as well ---
