I've tried to rotate the symbol out of the TIA, but it lost resolution and waste a lot of time. I can't believe yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Split from rotate on 90 degrees?.

I've tried to rotate the symbol out of the TIA, but it lost resolution and waste a lot of time. I can't believe yet. Hello Autogen, Well, it is not a joke. You are able to use the "Animations" that are available. There is also lots of graphical objects in the "Graphics" toolbox, use them at your advantage. AutoGen_991924 I've tried to rotate the symbol out of the TIA, but it lost resolution and waste a lot of time. I use "Gimp" which is a image manipulation program and .tif are the best image extension I found yet. If you lost resolution, then you have done something wrong somewhere. The "Alpha channel" permits you to remove the background and make it invisible. Best regards, Hugo

In WinCC Professional Runtime ist possible to dynamise the rotation of objects or you could rotate to 90°. Bye Murof

It's not possible to rotate from here my friend, believe me. About graphical objects, : If all rotation positions of all symbols were exist in the library, There were not a lot of questions about "HOW TO ROTATE SYMBOLS IN V13" . Think about my friend. And last one (Gimb) It is another problem, How it's possible to change the default v13 graphic editor (MS PAINT). When you right click on an object and select edit, (MS PAINT) will open and there is no way to don't loss resolution and transparency. If it was possible to change Paint to another editor (like Gimb) it would be very helpful. If you have a solution help these friends: https://support.industry.siemens.com/tf/ww/en/posts/change-to-another-graphics-editor-then-paint-in-tia-portal/118645/?page=0&pageSize=10 BTW I thank you for trying to help my friend.

Dear AutoGen_991924, you can use TIA openess and the rotation tool of the HMI Toolbox. Look at this hyperlink - Chapter: Simplified Engineering: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/106226404 To your other problem: It is not possible to change the default graphic editor (MS-Paint). You have to use a other graphic program to design your graphics if you don't want to use MS-Paint. With best regards rh1990

3D info Posts: 1 Rating: (1)	Just take the shape from library and open in Paint, It will not help you alot, cuz when you save your rotated shape in Paint, It will loss transparency. I test corel draw , that's better, but not perfect.
