Yep, I'm recently new to Storyline (am typically a Captivate user) and have had to do many searches to learn the software. I have to say the forums have saved my bacon a number of times! But, sadly too often, like with this feature, requests were made years and years ago but there's still no resolve. I'm definitely a +1 on this!
+1 for this feature. Please add this. Transitioning from PowerPoint and this is sorely missed. Thank you.
Would also like to add that if you currently copy-and-paste a shape or image with custom points from PowerPoint, Storyline 360 will completely freeze and become unusable.
I've updated our report to reflect the number of authors who are requesting this feature.
Jonathan, I'd like to take a look at your project to see what is causing this snag! Would you mind sharing the .story file with me? If you're comfortable with that, here's my private upload link.
Hi Lauren, thank you for updating the report and thanks for offering to take a look at the problem files.
Unfortunately (and typically!), I have just tried to recreate the problem I was having and am unable to replicate it. I am using the exact same method and files as yesterday but it's working as intended. I haven't even 'turned it off an on again' as you might think would resolve the problem! I will gladly share the problem files with you anyway, if you still want to take a look, but currently seem to be having no issue.
+1 for this. The possibilities this would open up would greatly help Storyline in the graphic design department. We need to be able to edit the points of a shape. How hard is that? Storyline mimics powerpoint in so many ways, but this is lacking.
Coming from Captivate, I am used to being able to customise freeform shapes as I often would use these as hotspots (outline and highlight a specific area of an image when the user interacts with it). Surprised it hasn't been implemented yet!
I'm having the issue that Mike Bethany describes above: I can't figure out how to close a shape so that it doesn't have little ends sticking out. And, yes, being able to move the points is much needed.
