Hi,  
How can I shift the units display on a meter to the bottom of dial, the default position is not overlaped bu needle, when the needle points left.

The default Meter component doesn’t have a way to move it’s value label. Check out this post which has a more customizable gauge:

This does require Ignition 7.3 +. All you have to do is import the custom pallet component into your designer. This gauge is svg-based, so you can customize it however you want.

How do I enable custom Palette tab in designer, can I download the custom gauge component.
