I’m essentially trying to simulate a crane by using nested coordinate containers. Container A has an image depicting the bridge girder and moves on an X axis. Container B inside of Container A has an image depicting the trolley. The problem I’m having is that when container A moves, container B does not move with container A. Is there a binding or anchor of some type to keep container B inside of container A?

It sounds like you’d be better suited by the [View Canvas](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+-+View+Canvas)?
