Can't move tachometer visual in power bi desktop

Hi,

 

I'm using third party tachometer visual which is Microsoft certified in power bi desktop for reporting server. I'm able to use all options but can't move in the design area after providing data input to the visual options. I can move only when I select tachometer visual but when I give any data input to the visual, I'm unable to move. I don't see issues with other out of box visuals. 

 

Please let me know if I'm missing something.

 

Thanks

Try to move visual by selecting 3 dots of that visuals. (top right corner of visuals)

Sometime I also experience the same issue with custom visuals only then I move it by selecting 3 dots of that visuals.

Hi @Anonymous 

As tested, i can move the tachometer visual on the report page of Power BI.

 

Which version of Power BI Desktop do you use?

Please update to the lastest version here.

You could download the sample pbix using tachometer visual to test on your side.

 

If you have any problem, feel free to let me know.

 

Best Regards

Hi @v-juanli-msft 

 

Thank you for the quick response!

 

I have tested the sample pbix from official site but it didn't for work me, unfortunately.

I'm using latest version of Power BI desktop for Report server which can be found here

I find that another issue is you cannot copy the tachometers. There is no right click menu so you cannot use copy image and Ctrl + C does not work
