You need to tag your question as Vision or Perspective.

The drawing tools are for Vision. Perspective doesn't have any yet.

Hi! It's perspective. The weird thing is that my collegaue has these drawing tools in perspective actually, but I don't.

Are you confusing drawing tools with Perspective's [Perspective Pipes | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/working-with-perspective-components/perspective-pipes) and [https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/components/perspective-components/perspective-symbols-palette](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/components/perspective-components/perspective-symbols-palette)?

The drawing tools you can see on the right hand side (default) of the Perspective designer are not useable. It's a visual bug.

Supposedly the next major release of Perspective will have drawing tools. Until then you have 2 primary options.

1. Use CSS borders on labels to make lines.
2. Embed SVGs
