Hi I use symbol factory graphic and some other SVG graphic for my project in perspective. The import SVG or symbol factory graphic is treat as a single source of graphic even they group together. I can access different part by accessing elements in PROPS. The problem is there is no properties for visibility, position and angle in elements. So I can’t bind make the part of SVG shape dynamic. I also want for example to rotate some part of imported symbol factory. Is there a solution for it? or will it be current in future release? ![control%20visibility%20of%20element%20in%20svg%20shape](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/8/80dba14264b7b4f1a432daadeebb3841885b3ac3.jpeg) For example the ‘cooling fan’ symbol under ‘blower etc’ make from two main parts: fan blades and fan frame. If I want to rotate the blade there is properties for it. ---

These are not difficult to build in SVG and I am sure Ignition will be able to provide these features in coming releases. ---

I hope the first thing they add is group capability ---

Right now there isn’t a way to accomplish what you want. We’re working on improvements svg/drawing/design functionality in Perspective and hope to have some significant improvements for people to start in a coming release (not sure which version it will be released in yet). We’ll try to update when we have some further information to share. ---

In the mean time till these features are available in perspective, you can try using SVG in your own HTML page and develop your own custom animation such as rotation , visibility, position, angle and graphics if you are good at HTML/SVG/JS or know of any open source freeware library that can do it. My [New module - RWS - Restful Web Services , from PRAMANJ Technologies](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/new-module-rws-restful-web-services-from-pramanj-technologies/26525) allows you to bind dynamic ignition tag values with such graphics in an HTML page containing canvas and SVG elements. Just a thought. ---

I was able to leverage the ‘type’ property to do my visibility. I added a binding that makes the type a ‘group’ when I want it visible, then set it to ‘circle’ (or something else) when I want it invisible. A work-around maybe, but it works. No help on rotation though. ---

I’m not sure if this is a new function in a recent release but SVG properties such as visibility can be manually added to the individual elements of an SVG. ![MicrosoftTeams-image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/1/21784a487f065ea29849d9838a77d93b55b4e8c8.png) ---

also, transform: rotate(30deg) works for this. Should be helpful for the original poster ![capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/f/6fabfda34791c78770129581a0da7880ec953735.jpeg)
