You can use anything from Notepad to Adobe Photoshop to create SVG's, its really just a matter of preference. Generally I just use a "blank" SVG that I have saved as a starting point and then modify it inside of the designer to fit my needs. If I am in a hurry and need something that is complex then I will use Inkscape. Here are a couple of topics that talk about the process. > [@Drawing Tools in perspective](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/drawing-tools-in-perspective/51407/3): > > SVG’s are the way to do it (they aren’t the only way to do it, but they are probably the best way).

So for instance, I have no idea what the yellow triangle is supposed to indicate and so I didn't add it. I made some assumptions on how I think the re… > [@Perspective, faster page](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-faster-page/69885/35): > > Okay, I had a bit of free time today, so here is a complete SVG solution. You could do the Label as SVG text as well, or a gauge needle if you wanted, I haven't gone that far. Just a little example of the power of using the Ignition Designer to add SVG elements. I didn't include the label for the example. Note: All of this (outside of the calculations needed to find the points for the shape) was done inside of the designer (yes I can be somewhat of a masochist at times. rofl).
