Hi, I am working on a project and creating a page in ignition perspective 8.1.2. Please let me know how can i do following items? - Draw a Pipe or Line - How to Flip a Symbol e.g. vessel symbol with P&ID ---

Don't think drawing tools exist yet, but maybe this link will help: > [@Perspective Drawing P&ID Views & Pipes](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-drawing-p-id-views-pipes/24506/5): > > Piping is actively being worked on. There isn’t a time frame for this feature though as there is a lot involved. Sorry I don’t have a better time frame frowning_face ---

Thanks and any idea about mirroring of new symbols in 8.1.2 ---

I haven’t installed 8.1.2 yet, so I can’t speak to that. I would assume you can rotate, kind of useless if you couldn’t. ---

ok. Exactly and i haven’t found an option to mirror it yet. ---

To flip a symbol or icon, you need to add a property to the `style` object, and this new property should be called `transform`. Set the value fo this new `transform` property to be `scale(-1, 1)`. This mirrors the symbol/icon over the y-axis. A scale value of `scale(1, -1)` would mirror the symbol/icon over the x-axis (and make t appear upside-down).

Thanks but i think you are talking about normal symbols where as i am more interested in symbols pallet symbol and still its not working with transform. e.g. vessel symbol as show below and want to change the fill level from left to right. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/c/9c13c6bf8bb0c301423189503b2e213b03208c4e.png) like to mirror horizontally as follows but only fill level not direction or text or label. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/6/76986208a92ca69b68f496b83a996f49e360f20c.png) ---

Ah, I see. The transform applies to the entirety of the component, and this includes the label and text. If you want the vessel flipped and _not_ the text, then you’ll need to supply your own separate label. ---

Sorry but its not working for me as a mirror image, i am not sure if i am missing something or doing it wrong. Its same in designer and also in session.

You added `transform` as a child property of `props`, instead of adding `transform` as a child of `style`. If you look closely at the screenshot I provided, you can see that the indentation of `classes` and `transform` should be the same as they are both children of `style`. Click the `+` icon which appears to the right of `style` while hovering over `style` and select “Value”. Change this new key to “transform”. ![Screen Shot 2021-03-01 at 9.10.14PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/b/1bf9c7dac7cf554ebd2543558f1ee1416ffb55db.png) ---
