How do I edit the points on a shape?
Hello. I'm designing a custom button and I want to edit one point in a shape. The closest shape I could find under shapes was Block Arrows > Pentagon. I am looking to invert the arrow point so that it points into the shape, instead of away from it. I hope that makes sense.
What is the status of this feature request after 4 years ?
Hey M N!
Looks like most users were able to accomplish what they needed by using Powerpoint.
I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful and encourage you to share your ideas here as well as a use case :)
Seems like a fairly simple feature to add to reduce UX frustrations of having to leave SL, open PPT, design your shape, save it out, then bring it into SL. I feel like software companies should be in the business of making their software something that doesn't force users to use another company's product as often as possible. As a new SL user this seems like something that could have been easily addressed within the last 9 years.
I 100% agree! I would rather not have to leave Storyline to edit my shapes. Just some basic design elements would be fine. Let us edit points of a shape and make the different points curve if we want. Also, it would be awesome if Storyline would allow us to combine shapes like we can in PowerPoint.
Since this thread is from "almost 10 years ago" I don't expect this to change any time in my lifetime lol. But not much can be done outside of commenting here and hoping one of their product engineers reads it. It just doesn't make logical sense for their solution to be "use someone else's program in order to use ours the way you'd like." (not to mention bringing in a singular shape from PPT scales it drastically because the two programs don't have the same pixels per inch)
I'd love to see this as a feature as well, especially since after pulling a shape in from PowerPoint I might need just a small tweak to a curve.
Did this ever get implemented? It's a pain to have to go to ppt to edit a shape and save it off
