Hi All,

Is there a system tags or something that I can know what view i'm currently at? For example: I'm on my mobile/tablet and the auto rotate of my phone/tablet is on. Because some of the graphics are stretch and i don't want the to get stretch, I try to used the mode fixed or percent but still some of the graphics are still stretch.

Thank you in advance.

Hi [JR7](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/u/JR7),

Can you clarify what you mean by "what view I'm currently at"?  
Are you referring to a Perspective View? If so, you can use view.id in order to expose the ID of the current View.

I think this is the real problem. It sounds like you are using a Coordinate Contianer, but didn't also set the Aspect Ratio.

See this thread:

> Setting mode to percent is only part of the process, you then need to set the aspectRatio. Try taking width/height from the view and setting the ratio from those values. If the width = 1600 and the height = 900, then the ratio 1600:900
