Is there a way to change the fill color of an object within the symbol factory (in this case a pump) based on the value of a tag WITHOUT having to ungroup the object and link each individual component to a fill color/tag? Example: When the pump status is a 1, I want this to remain green. When the pump is a 0, I want this to remain red. I’m very new to ignition, so if this is easily answered I do apologize, but I also give thanks in advance! ---

Have you tried the “Symbol Factory Tip #1: Animating the Tint on a Grayscale Symbol” from the user manual? [inductiveautomation.com/supp … actory.htm](http://www.inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/index.html?using_symbolfactory.htm) ---

Thats a great resource posted by Pat. You can also watch a video of how to do this [youtube.com/watch?v=Ku0-Jctnt1o](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku0-Jctnt1o) ☹ Sorry there is no sound on the video
