Ignition 8.1 Perspective – Agitator rotation direction in Vessel symbol

Ignition
1

Hi everyone,

I’m using Ignition 8.1 Perspective and working with the Vessel symbol that includes an agitator.

I’m able to:

  • Animate the agitator rotation

  • Control the rotation speed dynamically using tag bindings

The only issue I’m facing is that I cannot change the rotation direction (clockwise vs counter-clockwise). The agitator always rotates in the same direction, and I don’t see any exposed property or setting to control direction.

My questions:

  • Is the rotation direction fixed for the built-in Vessel agitator?

  • Is there any supported way in Perspective to control or reverse the rotation direction using bindings, transforms, or styles?

Any clarification or guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Are you having a laugh? The animation on the vessel is a shrink and expand of the agitator elements in the horizontal direction. There is no direction to this animation, its a visual illusion that it "rotates" at all.

Brilliant!

When you have a genuinely directional animation you can use CSS transform. For example: Perspective Centrifugal Pump Animation Help - #2 by Transistor.
