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, rather than having to use guides to do so.
It's a PIA to have to configure these using your eye and guides, especially when wanting to make UI elements consistent throughout a project.
If I receive a design, with a shape with a 20px radius corner on the shape, I have to drop that graphic into Storyline, place my shape over the top, so that I can line up the corner radius.
Imagine if I was able to look at the shapes properties and define the radius.
Also, while we're on it. If I've then defined my corner radius, once I start to resize that shape, the corner radius decides to change, so I have to configure again for each shape size. This is awful when trying to establish a project style, only for it to be easily broken once a shape is resized.
Hi, everyone!
I have some great news to share! We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 100, we have included essential fixes and new features. One of the new features we’ve included is:
- Corner Radius Formatting. Keep your course design consistent by defining precise values for rounded corners.

Maybe if they can raise their price, or get new customers with a 'feature' like this, they will add it 😀
Maybe ai can do it? 🙄
PLEASE add this feature! By the way I just Googled how to do this and even AI THINKS we can. Apparently AI doesn't know everything. My two cents when SL gets around to this is we need a "Global" checkbox and the option for setting individual radius.
!
I'm pretty sure we'll all be retired before Articulate catches up with feature requests that have IRL benefits as they chase the AI dragon. And apparently, we need to be very wary of what AI is telling us Storyline can actually do... like you I was googling for how to add a trigger when the mouse leaves a hotspot (not loses focus, just rolls out of) and AI thinks that's a feature too...
Wow...that's worse than my AI find. I just find it hard to believe from a company that is so responsive when asking for help to fix an issue that they can be asked for more than ten years by a lot of people for this feature and still nothing.
If anybody is interested in having a play with this, it might be useful for standardising border radius on elements within Storyline. This was an experiment just to see if it was possible to do. It is a run time solution. The most significant issue to overcome is targeting. Currently, we don't have a way of adding a "class" to elements on the slide so that we can target an individual element or group of elements with JavaScript.

You can add a class by using javascript.
Yeah, I just meant without JS, in terms of adding a class to an element so you can target the element with JS.

Showing here how you can add classes to any element in your Storyline.
PowerPoint doesn't allow you to numerically set rounded corners either. But at least if you copy a vector into PowerPoint from Adobe Illustrator you can edit the points. In Storyline it just imports in as a poor quality emf image not a svg.
Adding a vote for this feature. Shocked it's not possible at this point, such a basic request, and people seem to be consistently begging for it...
We are finally going to be able to numerically determine the border radius of a shape.
And we only had to wait 3 years! Well, maybe 4 before it leaves beta. Progress!

Sounds wonderful! Only took 3 years :)
