Hello,

Is there a way to dynamically change the coordinates of an object? I can’t find any binding.

Thanks.

Try [system.gui.moveComponent](http://inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/system_gui_movecomponent.htm)

Don’t see this system function in Ignition 8.0. Is there any way of doing it in Vision 8.0 ?

It was deprecated, along with resizeComponent. The preferred function is now `system.gui.transform()`, which can do much more than just move and resize.

You can still **use** deprecated functions, but they are no longer in the user manual.
