Captivate 9 Responsive Project in Captivate 2017

Hi everyone. Not sure if i've missed something, however when I open a CP 9 responsive project in CP 10, the Fluid Box option is greyed out, the CP 9 breakpoint options are visible (not CP 2017 breakpoint slider) and "Save As Responsive" is greyed out. Probably because it is responsive already.

My main questions are;

  1. why still the CP 9 breakpoints visible (carry over with the file, or because I still have CP 9 installed, and i't s getting confused?)
  2. No option for Fluid Boxes

Thank you, screenshot attached (CP9 Breakpoint options, even though in CP 2017. Fluid Box greyed out)

    Cumbersome it is. You should recreate the theme. Not only FB's on master slides, but object styles for text containers do not need font sizes for

    breakpoint views. You should use the option to enable text resising. Moreover the minimum font size used to be 10pin CP9. In 2017 it is 14p, which is not included in the theme (too bad), nor in the Preferences. The minimum font size is only stored in each project.

    Too much changes, it is a totally different approach to responsive projects, certainly a time saver in most cases. I don't believe an easy upgrade to this new work flow was possible at all but I'm not a programmer of course.

    If you want to use Fluid boxes, you will have to copy/paste the slides to a new responsive project created with a CP2017 theme. It is quite a lot of work, especially if you use advanced actions (shared actions are bit easier).

    Thanks Lieve. I was a little perplexed that the CP 9 breakpoint viewports had carried across as well.

    So in other words opening up an existing CP 9 responsive project in CP 2017 is a little cumbersome, or was it because I had that theme attached
