Line style width increases when object is copied
Hello,
I had formatted a caption in Storyline a certain way, and wished to continue using the same format and size on subsequent slides. It dawned on me that it wasn't the same though: each time ...
I am having the same issue as described in the original post.
I had created a project using a rectangle shape that had no fill, but had an outline weight of 4px.
I needed to create several projects with the same look and wanted to keep the exact same shape in each. So I just did a "save as" of the first original project and renamed it each time. I opened one of these "new" projects and tried to...
1) copy the shape using the right click menu
2) duplicate the shape using ctrl+d
3) duplicate the shape by clicking on the shape, holding the ctrl button, and dragging.
In each case, the outline of the object kept duplicating. So, the original shape had an outline of 4px. The first copy made it 8px. When I copied the first copy, it made it 16px. And so on.
The "solution" is to completely start from scratch in creating the shape for each project.
So, I'm wondering if doing a "Save As" of the original project has something to do with this odd occurrence.
Hello Bernadette,
Sorry to hear that you ran into this issue. I'm not seeing the same thing on my end when I followed the steps that you shared, so there's a chance that a specific set of actions need to be performed in order to properly observe this behavior.
To troubleshoot the issue, try doing a repair of Storyline 360 to see if this helps address the behavior. If the issue persists, would it be alright if we asked you to make a recording of how you are arriving at the issue so we can attempt to replicate it? Here's how:
