This is a must-need-for perspective to be a viable HMI design option in this day and age. The lack of basic drawing tools is hard for me to understand. I would have thought this is one of the basic needs of an HMI development software. It feels like Perspective took a step back from Visions' ability to design HMI screens. I will definitely need to see basic drawing tools before I would even consider using Perspective. I know you advertise that there are 3000 symbols available. These symbols are also available in other HMI software along with drawing tools. Plus, there are more than 3000 types of instruments and equipment out there. So, in the grand scheme of things, I am limited in my ability to design a screen that accurately represents my system.

Hi Guys,

i am not sure if they updated or not but this union things is working if you will use coordinate container. right click on factory symbol thn click on flatten it will create another drawing component in your container and merge with original component and change in element=>fill=>paint

I NEED this!

Commenting to mark this as NEEDED!!

Is there any Estimate on when this will be available?

Without the drawing tool like Vision's is a major disadvantage of Perspective. We often need to do basic creation of customized objects, like 3-way valve, scale/tank, piping, pump, etc. And color and visibility animations. When we have hundreds of these objects, we should be able to replace the tags easily.

Definitely drawing tools, and the ability to group components without a bunch of workarounds. Like highlight what you want in the group then click group, or cntrl+G. Something along those lines.

Hi there! Our product design team at Inductive Automation is eager to speak with you to understand more about how you use our software, which will help us prioritize what types of features and opportunities should be considered (specifically around drawing in Perspective), in order to improve the user experience for you!

If this interests you, please feel free to schedule a feedback session (approx. 45-mins) with us here:

Thank you very much and we look forward to potentially speaking to you!

It would be nice to have animated shapes. I want to show an animated water level inside a rectangle because I work in open canals.
