Is the drawing all one image that you import?

Or how did you draw the wires with a chamfer?

Are the I/O lights reading tags?

Also, I am toggling my drawing tools on and off, but they are not appearing on my designer screen.  
Version 8.1.19

Perspective doesn't have "drawing tools" yet. Or at least not in that version. They are coming.

I suspect that the majority of that is a single image, anything that would need animation is most likely an SVG of some sort. But obviously, @nader.chinichian is the best one to answer what method he used.

I thought drawing tools were coming in v8.3? He's on v8.19 😯 maybe it's an ultra exclusive closed alpha release? Or he's from the future...
