Hello guys,

I’m new to Ignition Perspective. I’ve completed all the courses from Inductive University, but I have a question. I want to design a P&ID diagram using custom shapes for tanks, valves, etc., but I noticed that Perspective doesn’t have an editor like typical CAD or Vision. I found that I can use Labels to create shapes, but that seems a bit weird. Can someone help by suggesting a good strategy for designing P&ID diagrams in Perspective?

As far as I know there are some symbols on the Components

you can also use icons,  
many people import customized .svg images as seen on

It will have that in [8.3](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/blog/83-release-timeline), but in the meantime people create their custom SVGs (in programs like **Inkscape** ) and import them.
