Hi and thanks for everyone.

How can I mirror (or flip) an object at wincc unified v17?

For Example: In the Toolbox -> Dynamic Widgets I have the ClassicPump, which is nice, but the output of the pump is at the right side and I want it at the left side (use both actually). So, in so other softwares I know we can mirror the object (maybe even in older versions of wincc?) but at wincc unified v17 I cant figure out how to do it.

Please, help.

Thanks again for the time.

Hi paulohbsa,

To my knowledge this is not possible right now.

Hellopaulohbsa__ at,

As far as I understand, as I had the same question regarding the mirror function of an object, it is currently not possible in Unified and I hope that in future versions they will add this ability. But being able to rotate objects should be possible. I'm going to look into how to rotate objects.

*Update*

I found this way to rotate objects in the manual, in case it helps:

"SIMATIC HMI WinCC Unified Engineering V17: Rotating an object around a pivot point"

"SIMATIC HMI WinCC Unified Engineering V17: Rotating object”

Best regards!

I used the Inkscape to solve this problem. 

1. I have copied the ClassicPump.svghmi file located there:

C:\Program Files\Siemens\Automation\Portal V19\Data\Hmi\SvgControls\IndustryGraphicLibrary\Pumps

2. Change the extention to .svg;

3. I opened the .svg file with Inkspace and used the mirror command there;

4. I saved the file under a different name;

5. I opened the file with Notepad++ and where it said ClassicPump I put the new name ClassicPulmpLeft, for example;

6. I changed the extension of the new file to .sgvhmi and copied the file to the location mentioned above;

7. Update the dynamic widgets on TIA Portal.
