Can you copy a Zoom Region?

So glad that this older conversation was able to help you out as well, Jane :) Thanks for chiming in to share.

Hi  Wish we could do a copy and paste of  a zoom area. 80 slides later my client says "can you make this section bigger on the simulation. The answer is I can zoom it in but I have to do it manually for all slides that need it (all 80). Whew!!! Please help me out guys. This is well over due as a functionality in articulate. 

Many many thanks

Absolutely agree with Carl above that the features listed would save hours of otherwise tedious work for Storyline developers. I'm forced to use the 'rectangle' workaround which remains tedious when it needs to be applied over many slides. Fine-tuning still needs to be done in order for the scene to render properly  with no 'jumping around' when zoom regions aren't perfectly aligned between slides. This application would jump from good to great with either the ability to copy zoom regions between slides or to be able to configure the zoom region coordinates and size directly. This is a universal pain point among developers in my organization.

I've worked with a Customer Success Manager to submit a feature request for this issue. They told me to encourage others who have been impacted to submit a feature request as well as it will add traction to the request. Please take a moment and help get this long-overdue feature added. Here is the link: Feature Request

So it is 8 years since the issue was raised and no solution? I am kind of surprised about behaviour like this for a market leader in the field.

Why does Storyline even have a simulation mode when something as fundamental maintaining the same zoom over multiple pages is not supported?

I am on a project with extensive simulations and using the grid to manually place the zoom every time is a serious time drain.

Ten years and counting and still no resolution!  

Can you PLEASE look into this Articulate!  It's all well and good copying a slide with a Zoom region but this is not practical when recording screen simulations.  

Yes please, this would make the zoom region feature much more useful and quicker to apply across multiple slides (or layers)

Come on everyone, get your colleagues to contribute to this discussion, Fixing this will make our development lives a lot easier and our work look a lot more professional.

Let us all show Articulate how much this means to us and finally get it fixed in 2023!

Thanks

I really hope they will implement a fix for this very soon, I have another Sim project and I am seriously not looking forward to hours of trying to line up Zooms, even with the grid its painfully slow and if its so much as a millimetre out it stutters and looks unprofessional.

Sadly, it appears that Articulate doesn't implement feature requests, this is one of many fundamental issues which have been outstanding for years. 

This is a fundamental design feature, and should be implemented into the software.
