Straight Lines
Hello,
I find it extremely hard to create straight lines/arrows is there an easier way to do this?
i.e. holding shift like other programs does not work.
Thanks!
Crystal, would the object editing enhancements be implemented in SL3 or future SL4? Despite the annoying line thing since the SL1, since the last update I've realised, that snapping crashed at all.
If you check the options "snap to grid" and "snap to objects" storyline won't snap to objects, only to grid. When you move some objects (imagine you have aligned 20 lines inside some cube or something), these objects, instead of move as 'one group' moves separately, aligning to grid also. It basically goes wherever it wants. Aligning objects is now really big pain, almost everything needs to be corrected. It definitely shouldn't be that way, it worked quite fine since last update (however OEE looks really promising)
Hi Mateusz. Thanks for giving me some time to look at the snap behavior with gridlines. In Storyline 3 and 360, this is the behavior you can expect for single objects that are selected:
If you are using the grid and you need your object to align to another object that doesn't align with the grid, uncheck the box "snap objects to grid" to allow your selected object to align to the other shape.
We do see an issue when you have selected multiple objects and the option to snap to grid is checked. Like you described, the objects get out of line with each other, rather than dragging as a cohesive group. I'm documenting this behavior as a bug so we can address it.
In the meantime, unchecking the box "snap objects to grid" should resolve this behavior for you, whether the gridlines are displayed or not. I hope that helps in the interim.
