Issues with Drawing Shapes/Text Boxes with Mac
Oct 28, 2013

Hello all,
I recently switched over from the PC world to Mac and I'm having issues with Storyline in Parallels. Most everything works fine except when I'm drawing a shape or sizing a text box. If I draw a shape, I get the bounding box like normal to the shape that I draw it to. However, only about a tenth of the actual shape is filled on the screen, but when I go to preview it, the entire shape is filled. This makes it extremely difficult to align objects as I don't have the visual reference as the fill in the shape I see (not in preview) is not actually what's going to display.
Has anyone encountered this or have any thoughts on what I can do to resolve it? I've tried adjusting screen resolution and that didn't do anything.

Hi Jamie,
We've seen similar scenarios where the DPI setting is not set to 96 as described here.
Also, since you mentioned recently switching over, I also wanted to point you to this knowledge base article on working in the Parallels environment.
