Is there a way to fix an image or component to a location? I am trying to build a maintenance screen that has an overview of a line with information labeled next to the location on the image. However, I'm clumsy, and end up moving the image around more than the components I'm trying to put on top of it. I'd like to fix the image to a specific location on the screen. Is that possible?
I think you're looking for an edit lock feature on each component. (It would be simpler than having locks on individual properties such as position.) There isn't one but it would make a nice feature request and would, presumably, show a little padlock icon beside the component in the project tree.
Edit your question title and prefix it with '[Feature Request]'.
A lock feature would be awesome, thanks!

Thanks, I couldn't find it on the forum. I forgot it was on a different subdomain.

Yes, you can lock items in Perspective Designer. See this post to make items ignore clicks/drags/selection:
If you want to automatically switch this to accept interaction at runtime while locking in Designer, see my reply to the post:
Note switching via binding is affected by the following Ignition bug which can cause it to see the Designer as a client until Designer restart:
