# Changing the angle on part of my symbol messes up the X/Y coordinates of it over time?

- I’m using a fan from the symbol factory.
- I’m changing the angle of the fan over the full 360 degrees using a timer for smoothness. (specifically  
the blades, not the entire symbol.
- Slowly, over time, the fans decided to spin right off into their own orbit.
- Sometimes, even the shroud behind the fan would get wonky.
- I’ve noticed this same issue in tatsoft
- the position of the symbol as a whole remains unaffected.

Any insight to what might be causing it?

> Hi there, I am having an issue with an animation I am doing of a fan spinning on some evaporators. I made it into a template. It works fine only problem is after some time the fans actually start to move off the spot and eventually just float off the screen. I am using the signal generator to get them to spin smoothly and have it set as ramp. If I go off the page and come back the fans go back to there spot. It was working fine on Ignition 7 but now on 8 it started doing it again. Anyone else e…

Sounds like a dodgy product design to me, maybe go back to the fan reseller and claim a warranty issue 😄
