Stop Callout "Triangle" from deforming?
Feb 01, 2023
I'm sure there is a way to do this, and I've simply forgotten. I am attempting to use a Rectangle Callout and relocate the triangle pointer to the middle of a side, without it 'deforming'. I've created an example of what I'd like the callout to look like using a rectangle and a triangle (right) in the image here.
Thank you in advance for any help.

I totally understand your dilemma. If you want the exact precision you are showing here, then you may want to consider building it with multiple objects instead of the call out option.
If you choose the call out option from the Shapes menu, you are really limited to 2 base locations on the side of the rectangle. Any other position of the pointer other than centered over one of those base locations and the triangle warps.
Choosing a call out from the Captions menus gives you more flexibility, but still probably not what you are looking for.
Thanks Ron! I'll build one in app for sure. For some reason I was thinking there was a way to do this in Storyline... I must have been thinking in Camtasia, from my videos... Thanks again!
