Drag and Drop Won't Snap to Center of Drop Target
Hi Articulate Community Team!
This interaction was working properly. However, I decided to add some shadow and glow to the items being dragged and dropped. After those changes, the items will no longer snap to the center of the drop targets. If I switch to drop to 'Tile' it works except Ali's and Anton's names will not drop on top of each other (one covering the other).
Cheat sheet:
-Gianna's name should go to 'Refer Out'
-Ali's name and Anton's name should both go to 'Don't Refer Out'
Thank you in advance for any help or guidance anyone can provide.

Hello everyone,
I'm happy to share that we just released another update for Articulate 360, and included a few important fixes that you'll see in the release notes here.
I'm sure you'll be most interested in:
Fixed: Drag-and-drop questions weren't always evaluated correctly, and drag items weren't precisely centered in drop targets.
Just launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button for Storyline 360. Details here.
Please let us know if you have any questions, either here or by reaching out to our Support Engineers directly.
That's fantastic! Thank you for the update, Leslie.
I am having trouble with objects snapping to the target consistently and I have upgraded to the latest Articulate 360. I'm attaching my .story file. The first question snaps perfectly when dragged to a target, but the second two aren't landing in the right places. These were copied from the first one and I've checked everything I can think. Will you take a look?
Hi Laura
the difference I can see is in the states tab of DnD 2 and 3
In the first DnD the Drag over state position is 0, 61
In the second and third it is 52, 61 - Try changing the 52 to 0 and see how you go.
This is so great, Wendy! You have definitely found the problem. But I'm having trouble finding where those settings are. You say you are in the States tab of DnD 2 and 3 but for what object? Need some breadcrumbs, my friend!
Hi Laura,
I messed with it for a bit but had the same issues. I cannot figure it out.
Might be another software 'fix' needed.Hi Philip,
Upon testing your file RecognizingRhabdoInteraction1.story, I couldn't replicate the issue.
Everything is working on my end.
I won't snap when you drag the item while the animation is still going on.I had the same issue of items not dropping to center and adjusting both to be the same size worked for me as well!
Thank you!
It appears that you did not assign the targets. Try this.
Glenda, thank you for your response. I see it does work once assigned. The issue however is that there is no one correct answer for this activity. Do you know if this functionality is available to snap to center of any target?
Hi, Learning.
As Glenda mentioned above (thank you, Glenda), you need to assign the drop targets, so Storyline knows where to "Snap to Center":
Thank you Maria. Is there any way to assign each drag item to multiple (all) targets? The activity is meant to have no wrong answers.
Try this. @Steve Gannon posted it a while ago.
