Not entirely sure if I am on-topic here but if the concern is how to scale a Perspective coordinate container (with pipes) to another size I have had good results just using the CSS `zoom` property on the embedded view or the coordinate container itself nested within a flex container. > [@Possible to set max row height on Perspective table?](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/possible-to-set-max-row-height-on-perspective-table/93703/6): > > Another nifty trick/cheat (perhaps related) for when you are trying to force a Perspective component, container or embedded container to fit into another size (bigger or smaller) is to use the CSS `zoom` property to scale everything. > > I have used this with process diagrams created in a coordinate container targeting desktop that I then need to adapt to another display size, and with the toggle component because I don't like the default formatting (seems out of place with other component defaults) and I'll usually scale (zoom) it to 80%. > > ... > > There are ways to scale according to available screen size using `zoom` with page `dimension` properties, I could write that up if someone is interested. > > **Caution:** [Browser support](https://caniuse.com/?search=zoom) for `zoom` is not universal, use at your own risk. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/scalable-mimics-using-co-ordinate-containers/115345)._
