Hello,  
I want to display a view from a project (1) inside another project (2). But the view from (1) needs to be embedded into the primary view of (2). It is important that both projects can be used separately. I tried using inheriting the projects but this doesn't work because the project is not a main project then anymore. How can i do this the best?

I was thinking of opening project (1) as a URL somehow in project (2)...

How can I achieve this?

Greetings,  
Yannick U

Did you consider [Perspective - Inline Frame - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+-+Inline+Frame)?

You might need to create a special page configuration if you just want a view from the second project without the docks (top and sides, etc.).

Consider creating a third, inheritable project, and moving that view (and any scripting it needs) from project 1 to project 3. Then have both projects 1 and 2 inherit from project 3.
