Hi everybody, I really often use bezier curves in my graphics. I never managed to control the curve line. The drawing process is unclear and there is no point edit mode. I have been drawing them in external applications so far but would like to have it native in storyline. example : Have a nice day

Draw in Illustrator.CopyPasteUngroupand there it is a perfect line.Like this.. only works on PC though.

Everything connected to drawing lines needs major update. We can't "join" lines, we can't specify where the outline should be (inner, outer), thus making everything like flowcharts are needed to be done in another program and then you cannot edit it in Storyline. Not being able to draw single curve is just one part of the overall "lines" problem. Maybe we will see something in the future.

Hi Dominique, I went ahead and shared this as a feature request on your behalf, and you'll likely receive an email confirmation shortly. Always feel free to post those here in the forums in case other users have suggestions to share and then you can also submit it here to our product development team.

Hi Leslie, My lines aren't blurry, just distorted. Here's an image of what's going on- the blue line is what it looks like before I click to end the line. The black line is what it looks like after ending the line. Perhaps I'm ending the line incorrectly? I ended up creating the smooth curves I was looking for in ppt, but it's a bummer to pay so much for a software then have to do a simple task like a curved line, in another program.

Thanks for the sample Nadia. I'm able to recreate what you are experiencing here and I'm going to share this with my team. Sounds like you have a workaround in the meantime, but the scribble line feature is not distorting if you're good a free-handing your curve.

It is not nice, it is not what we need, it is just totally wrong. On top of that it is just not even possible to properly adjust it.

Three years to figure out how to properly draw a curve is insanely long.

Thanks. Hopefully others will approve of this. Much to do in the graphic aspect of the program :)

Actually I had always assumed that importing arrows from illustrator would be as a graphic with a background that would have to be FORMAT > RECOLOR > SET TRANSPARENT COLOR

But actually it is not imported as a bit map but as a vector. That makes it a lot easier.. still a guessing of designing and importing several version of each arrow to make it fit well.

Hi Leslie,

How did you use the pixel-perfect precision to create the above curves? I'm attempting to create a simple S curve and it looks perfect while I'm creating it, then distorts when I double click to end the line. I'm wondering if the "pixel-perfect precision" is what I need to fix this distortion but I'm not finding anything on how to use it in this case.

Hi Nadia,

We are looking into an issue with some custom lines and/or arrows are blurry in Storyline 360.

Would you be able to share a sample .story slide of what you are experiencing so that we can take a look?

Hi fellows Storyliners,

I guess I have been updated since I opened this thread some 5 years and a half ago!

Oh my God I wish you good luck!

I can't believe we can't draw Bézier curves yet :(

Hi Everyone,

Good news! We fixed the issue where the final curve line is distorted from what is created.

Here's how to install the latest Storyline 360 update to see all the recent enhancements and fixes.

If the problem reappears, please record a Peek 360 screencast for me, and I'll be happy to help!
