Ignition 8.3.9 – Perspective Missing in Designer

TechEnlive · September 16, 2026, 9:46am

Hi team,

Today I installed the new version of Ignition 8.3.9 (b2026082511) along with the Designer.

However, I noticed that Perspective is missing from the Designer. Both the Vision and Perspective modules are installed and showing as ACTIVE in the Gateway.

I also understood that Ignition 8.3 includes the new built-in vector-based image functionality, but I could not find this feature in the Designer either.

Did I miss something during the installation, or is Perspective not available/supported in this version?

I would appreciate any advice.

Thank you!

I think module perspetive is not installed, check modules in platform/Modules

Are there any errors in the designer console? From memory if there is a failure of jxbrowser the module doesn’t load in the designer at all.

Hi,
The perspective module is installed and active.

As @David_Stone says, if the JxBrowser engine faults on designer startup, Perspective will be missing. Look at the designer's console for likely messages about that.

Huh. That's the problem, but I was expecting more information. Can you disable AV or other malware software temporarily?

I fixed the issue by renaming the old cache folder and then restarting everything.

Thanks to all of you for your help!
