I am working with nested containers in Perspective to try to achieve a desired layout and scaling behavior, and trying to understand why component handles are moving relative to the component when switching between fixed and percent modes in a coordinate container. When in fixed mode, the component handles are aligned with the red outline component: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/f/1f533f882decd446482d7fe32b2b34f7db6dc765.png) But in percent mode, the handles are shifted to the left: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/b/1beab16fcaf64b4a2112088763bfdce61ecd2d2b.png) This view is a Flex Container in Row mode. The first item is a solid red box with number "1" (AlarmIndicator). The second item in the row is a Coordinate Container with the red empty/outlined box (AlarmBorder). The x,y position of the AlarmBorder is set to 0,0 in percent mode. But, the handles seem to be relative to the view, and not the coordinate container that the component is within. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/1/01485553a616f137e2af6f2ed73a53da84cf5095.png) Could someone please clarify why this is, and if this is as expected? Thank you Dan ---

I remember this coming up before and I think I observed it myself but seldom use coordinate containers anymore. Check that it's not as simple as closing the view and reopening after changing modes. ---

I see this as well. I thought IA noted as an issue and has a ticket for it. Might be worth contacting IA to verify. ---

This is indeed a known issue, but it should be resolved soon. Also, it's only an issue within the Designer because the logic is specific to the handles; runtime Sessions are not impacted in any way. ---

Thank you for the replies. I wasn't sure this was expected or not. Dan ---

how do you make mimics? ---

I haven't had to make a process mimic for some time. Check out the many forum threads on SVGs with animations.
