custom icon for network object

Post by thomasammon » Tue Jun 27, 2017 8:10 pm

Hi,

I have created a new network object, named it, and selected "Cloud1" as it's type. I am using this network to connect to management interfaces on all of my virtual devices. I would like to use a much smaller icon instead of the cloud icon that is there by default. Since this is just a management connection, I don't need it to be large, and I want it to be out of the way of the other elements in the topology. Is there a way to customize this icon (or replace it) so that it is much smaller on the screen?

I think that you need to remember the philosophy of the Topology interface:

This is used only to create the physical network in the most practical way.

For pretty custom topology representation, you should use a custom picture and then map picture zones to nodes from physical topology.
This way permit also to represent object outside your physical design.
