> Some of the features coming in 8.3, like the fervently awaited Perspective Drawing Editor, got a shout-out during the Q&A portion of the session, exemplifying how crucial the community/developer feedback loop is to making Ignition systems what they are today. Does it mean that the Perspective Drawing Editor will not be included in 8.1 ? scream

Maker is perspective only and as such does not have drawing tools like vision does, if you have used vision previously.

Your only option right at this minute is to use an external SVG editor e.g. InkScape to create your drawings and import them.
