Hi all,

Ignition 7.9

This isn’t my first time encountering this issue, and I’ve mostly shrugged it off, as it doesn’t seem to affect the client, but I finally decided to inquire.

Conditions:

- Stack multiple rotating fans in a single template (controlled by the same timer)
- Open designer window with version of template

Over the course of an hour or two, the fans will start to wobble in their rotation, eventually orbiting their axis, and finally disappearing from my screen entirely. Closing the window and reopening it seems to reset the animation. It is worth mentioning this template started life as a copy of the other template on screen with only one fan, which doesn’t experience the issue.

Again, this doesn’t affect my client as far as I have observed. See [this video link](https://streamable.com/a6b09h) for an example, and the attachment for the template export.

[Supply\_Fan\_Template.proj](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/kBPQPLXDlVySPkA7RCDUQedijlr.proj) (20.9 KB)

Is there anything I can do to avoid this behavior? Is it mostly harmless?  
Thanks in advance.

> Hi there, I am having an issue with an animation I am doing of a fan spinning on some evaporators. I made it into a template. It works fine only problem is after some time the fans actually start to move off the spot and eventually just float off the screen. I am using the signal generator to get them to spin smoothly and have it set as ramp. If I go off the page and come back the fans go back to there spot. It was working fine on Ignition 7 but now on 8 it started doing it again. Anyone else e…

Thanks, Phil.

I’ll have to a better job of my forum search next time - this one didn’t surface.

Cheers!

I have not seen this problem when using a style customizer to cause the rotation.

Super helpful - thank you for the tip. I’ll give it a shot (next time my rotating object has style customization)
