WinCC v18 - slide image in from offscreen

[dmfrey]

I am fairly new to using WinCC and Siemens Comfort Panels but have experience with other brands. I am trying to animate an image position with a tag value from the PLC. I am able to do this in the middle of the screen, but I want to slide this image into view diagonally from the bottom right side of the screen and it appears that if even one pixel is offscreen anywhere in its movement the whole image will not show at runtime, even when in a position where it is currently fully on the screen. I have been able to do this on other brands, is there a way to do this in WinCC?

Create a popup rather than a slide in screen. You can animate how the pop-up arrives on screen.

Thank you, I didn't realize I could animate the pop ups. It looks exactly like I wanted.
