Any way to move the Indicator labels on a Linear scale? I am not seeing an option but I have missed these sorts of things before. I would like it to show something like this - ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/9/09b0b84fbd23ac330da76b1b4f0ad71b6942f5c3.png) Right now my indicator labels sit in awkward positions - ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/8/28b96188414dc3f9cce8aa348d2aedc4f7d1fb85.png) If not any other ideas to accomplish? ---

Please post the component configuration. (I can't replicate what you've shown.) In the Project Browser, right-click on the Linear Scale component, copy, paste it in here, select the code block and press the \ formatting button. ---

I think your Linear Scale has become corrupt. ![Corrupt linear scale](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/1/31536802428acb30e6c72eb9dc39447b189ca7c0.png) There shouldn't be a transform section in `props.maxValue` and it doesn't show up in the Perspective Property Editor so you can't edit it out there. Test: Paste the JSON into your favourite editor, delete that section and the proceeding comma. Then select all, copy and paste it into the view. ---

That transform is working for me and is editable in my perspective editor, I am using it for the python round function. I'm not really concerned with that part it will be changed, mainly just trying to move those labels. The scale is still working as expected for me, just not what is desired. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/e/7ef9f5f4a46e09d0f9ab675053fe754fab001b82.png) ---

OK, my mistake. I expected that to be elsewhere in the JSON. I spent a while looking at it for you but don't have any other suggestions other than recreating the thing from scratch and pasting in the bindings one at a time.
