Numerically (px/%) configure corner radius on rounded corner shapes
Hello Storyline staff. Can you let me know if it is in the development pipeline to be able to configure the radius of corners on a rounded corner shape, so that we can set them more accurately, rath...
Hi Sam and Maura,
I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with rounded rectangles! We currently have these logged as feature requests, but there currently hasn't been any movement on these as we prioritize other requests. I’ll go ahead and include both of your voices in those requests. We’ll update this discussion if this feature makes it on our feature roadmap.
Thanks for reaching out!
Hi John, thanks for the response but I'm not sure why this is a feature "request" and not something that Articulate haven't implemented already. Working with the web and graphic design programs, you can configure the radius of corners on rectangles, so that you can have a nice consistent design. Scaling the rectangle will not mean you have to zoom in on your corners and try and get them pixel perfect again.
The lack of this configuration option just means you aren't supporting your developers as well as you could be. The consistency in design is something very difficult to maintain when we can't do these things numerically and have to do it by eye, or by using guides and zooming in.
I've had to teach developers techniques of using a square shape of 10PX or whatever I want the radius to be, to line up the point for the guide on the corner. This is a crazy thing to have to do.
I don't know how it has been decided that "background audio" is a more pressing requirement than this.
Also, I note the feature roadmap has three items, without any forecast dates. Surely the developer(s) have targets they are aiming to meet internally. Why don't Articulate make these public so we can communicate to our clients.
- I cannot stress how accurate this critique is. Every time I really dive into a project I am proud of, I find myself comparing Articulate Storyline to After Effects. Give me a properties panel! Allow me to set motion path with beziers. Set states up to function like precompositions. Even applying styles underperforms the expectation. Word has that system down, and I expected that level of nuance when Articulate finally used styles; but the control necessary to get quality consistency isn't there.
- 100%. Exactly. This. Make the prioritization of features make sense.
Hi John. This is such an important required enhancement. How can we vote to increase the importance of this for development?
Hi Elissa,
Rest assured that we're tracking each and everyone's voices here in this forum. Simply letting us now you're interested in a feature is enough for a vote to be added to the request. For your reference, here's a quick look at how we manage feature requests.
