We have created a number of template views in Perspective in the same look and feel as our Vision standard.
This includes having a larger bounding view to allow for the tagname label to be positioned around the view.
In vision this is not a problem when deploying the templates overlapping each other.
However when deploying the embedded views the transparent edge of the view blocks buttons that are active in other views behind it.
Is there a setting that we are missing?
It's not clear what the layout is.
A screengrab of the relevant part(s) of the Project Browser may be helpful.
The base object is a coordinate container view to be embedded into the main project view.
The button is the foremost object within the template and is used for opening a popup view.
The reason for the box being so big is to allow the tagname label to be moved around.
The blue box from one embedded view is what is blocking the button from the other view.
Whichever view is at the front works.
There are various CSS properties such as pointer-events and z-index but I couldn't get them to work.
I suggest that you make the embedded view just big enough for the button and label and have a view parameter that determines where the label goes. Compass points NW, NE, SE, SW seems logical. Then use expression bindings on the X and Y positions to move the label there and move the button/icon to the opposite corner.
We are holding out hope for a better solution, but at the moment our fallback will be to separate the tagname out of the object and onto a dedicated tagname layer. And then bind the X and Y position to the original graphic, which won't be pretty but should work.
Would'nt @Transistors suggestion work? I mocked it up with a pretty basic example.
Good work, and for the application your label would be tight against the button so the box could be minimum size required.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Due to the width of the Tagname label we want this does fall over to some degree in a valve bank or high density display situation when drawing P&ID mimics or overviews.
Ideally, we wouldn't be trying to do this application in Perspective but due to requirements we are doing what we can.
