I do not see any tools for component alignment in perspective. Am I missing something or have they not been included for some reason. When using an XY container, it would be really handy to have this.

There is “snapping” enabled by default (it can be disabled as well), but we haven’t implemented the Perspective version of Vision’s grouped-component-alignment yet. You can always request this feature or see if it’s already been requested over on the [ideas forum](https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/ignition-features-and-ideas).

It’s also (high) on our todo list, likely starting with the coordinate container, where it makes the most sense.

Plus 1 on this request.

I’m currently rebuilding some Vision screens in Perspective and in this case coordinate view makes sense for us.

Is this problem solved now?
