Hello!
I am having issues viewing my Vision windows from my Designer project (see "Windows" tree image below). Once I log in with Vision Client Launcher, select Windows it is blank with no available Windows to view (see Vision Launcher image below). I have verified in Designer that my project properties, Vision, Launching, Hide from Launcher is "Un-Checked" (see Project Properties image below). The only other thing I can think of is either, I am still on the "Trial" version and this version doesn't allow you to view through Vision Launcher, or my project started as a "Perspective" project...? The Perspective session launcher works and I can see everything on a web page from my Perspective tree. Any thoughts on the issue?
Thanks,
Tyler Dixon
None of your windows are set to open on startup. You need to either open a window on startup or have a script or other function that opens the window you want.

Whatever you don't open on startup should have client menu entries to open, or some docked nav window (see most of the template projects).
Right click, show on startup worked. Thank you!
I am super new to Ignition. I spend about 5-days working with Perspective designer. I have moved to Vision as some colleagues have stated that they strictly use Vision for their SCADA. Still figuring out what will be better for my system, I am debating using both workstations and mobile devices. I have heard that Perspective was integrated for mobile reasons. I will check out the template projects in the next few days. Thanks for responding. I see you and PGriffth names on a lot of forums, really appreciate both of you responding so quickly. I do wish there was a way to show Vision windows in Perspective containers. I have not seen a post on how to do that.
Java and web are so drastically different that it just isn't going to happen. (Basically, the v7.9 and prior mobile module did this by image capture. Horrifyingly slow and ugly and buggy and limited.)
Can you create a binding to a button in Perspective to launch the Vision Client Launcher?
Not really, currently.
We're planning to explore registering the launchers as protocol handlers, so that you can 'deep link' into Vision and the Designer from browsers (as long as you've installed the apps already).

No, unless you:
-
Install the Vision Client Launcher ahead of time, and
-
Install your own URL handler in the user's browser that knows how to run the Vision Client Launcher.
Perspective and Vision are simply different. Trying to mix them leads to madness. Leave each to the purposes it is best at. (Or at least competent at.)

I am an electrical engineer, and I use phasor analysis on power systems. I need the ability to show phasor diagrams. Vision, had a static project that I was able to change the script to dynamic calling in tags. I have not been able to find a project in Perspective that shows this. Here is what it looks like in Vision.
Looks like a job for an animated SVG in Perspective. Lots of forum topics on that, using embedding.

This was a Paintable Canvas, that repaints itself to keep the dynamic tag values. I use a lot of SVG graphics in Perspective, but I have not found any projects that are able to draw and re-draw the lines, angled, and colors.
Do the animated SVG update to the binding tags?
