Storyline 360: Line Style Formatting

This user guide covers the line style options on the Format Shape/Format Picture window. These options control the appearance of lines, arrows, and object outlines. (See this user guide for ways to access the formatting window.)

Width

Enter the number of pixels or use the arrows to adjust the line width.

Compound Type

If you'd prefer to use multiple outlines, choose a style from the drop-down.

Dash Type

To create a dashed line, choose a style from the drop-down.

Cap Type

Choose a style for line endings. Flat caps don’t add any shapes or styles to line endings. Square and round caps add a shape to line endings.

For example, here are three lines of identical length, each with a different cap type.

Join Type

Choose how lines should look when they intersect: rounded, beveled, or mitered.

For example, here’s what each join style looks like on the corners of a square.

Arrow Settings

To add arrows to the ends of a line, choose a style from the Begin type and End type drop-downs, then select a size from the Begin size and End size drop-downs.
