What is the windows folder where the standard svg-files are located? I have looked under C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\data\modules\com.inductiveautomation.perspective\icons , but the modules folder isn’t in the data folder. ---

What "standard" SVG files? [Symbol Factory](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.3/ignition-modules/symbol-factory#using-the-symbol-factory), the [Symbols](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.3/appendix/components/perspective-components/perspective-symbols-palette), or something else? ---

If you don't have the "com.inductiveautomation.perspective" folder in your modules folder, you probably don't have the Perspective module installed. ---

It can appear in any mode folder, but is always found in the core resource folder if Perspective is installed. ---

@michael.flagler In the ignition designer i do have perspective module available. Do you guys mean i still need to install perspective after that? @paul-griffith With the standard svg-files i meant the “material” and “ignition” svg-file which are available on the icon object. I would like to add a category of my own. @nminchin do you have any idea where it has been moved to? ---

The folder path is very dependent on what version you're running. 8.1 vs 8.3 ---

There's a section in the user manual related to icon libraries. I don't know if they've fixed it yet, but the related files for your library should be put into their own folder. The manual originally didn’t specify this and sounded like you put them in the base icons folder > **[Custom Icon Repository Example​ - Images and Icons in Perspective | Ignition...](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.3/ignition-modules/perspective/working-with-perspective-components/images-and-icons-in-perspective#custom-icon-repository-example)** > > Perspective supports the import and display of images, including PNGs, JPGs, JPEGs, GIFs, and SVGs. Images can be loaded into Perspective via the Image Management utility, dragged and dropped directly into a View, or derived from an external web... ---

It does seem that the folder mentioned is a standard folder: C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\data\config\resources\core\com.inductiveautomation.perspective\icons.svg Although the icons folder isn’t in my project. After adding a new folder inside, the icons were available. Thx
