minipeddy Posts: 64 Rating: (0)	Hi i have searched the web for some days now for how i can turn/flip symbols in win cc flexible. Can anyone give me a detailed info how i do this ? How can this be so difficult, or is it just me beeing a *** ? the flip rotation i chose is gray and the object cannot be flipped. The symbols is for example a motor symbol in the motors directory. Best regards Øystein

minipeddy Posts: 64 Rating: (0)	Ok, sorry for the missunderstanding. So if i understand u right i need to export this symbol to paint. Rotate the pic and then import it into wincc flexible again ? Best regards Oystein.

Darius Platinum Expert Joined: 9/28/2005 Last visit: 7/24/2025 Posts: 2957 Rating: (243)	Well basically yes. For example I have a valve in my library made by Paint.NET so I have 3 types of the same valve in different rotation positions as 3 different objects. So you need different pictures for different positioning.

MM1234 Posts: 270 Rating: (53)	Dear minipeddy, following should solve your problem: 1) put the desired object you have somewhere on the screen in WinCC flexible 2) screenshot the picture and then open ms pain(t) and paste it into it and rotate the whole picture in the desired direction 3) select the picture with very small amount of background (which should be the same as you will have it in your application back in WinCC, so it wont matter, and then copy it into a new picture in ms pain(t) 4) save the new picture of rotated object as <yourrotatedobjectname>.jpg (jpeg format) into folder named <yourdesiredfoldername> somewhere 5) back to WinCC flexible, on the right panel select the Graphics tab and click right button on "My image folder..." 6) select the <yourdesiredfoldername> where you saved your new object from ms pain(t) and name it <yourdesiredgraphicobjectgroupname> 7) now the folder loads and with that all applicable picture appear as graphic objects in the same menu as mentioned in (5), you will find it under <yourdesiredgraphicobjectgroupname> 8) paste your new graphical object into your project 9) profit :-) obviously the adjustment that comes in handy here is to make a picture only with the rotated object and with transparent background, but I dont think they are there yet with ms pain(t) hope this helps and that i didnt leave out any important step
