Question

Customize many to one snap (drag and drop)

Hi all,

I have the following drag and drop exercise in Captivate 9:

The user has to drag one or more of the three possible choices on the right into the drop target on the left.

Here's the challenge:

I would like to make it so that upon dropping a choice into the target, Captivate realigns (snaps) the choice so that it looks like this:

However, I'm unable to do this, since I can't tell from the UI options if customizing exactly where drop sources are snapped to within the target area is possible.

So far, all attempts snap the choices within the target in a way that doesn't look "clean", e.g. edges overlap, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

In Captivate 9 drag sources (and drop targets) have InBuilt States, did you explore those? Here is an overview:

As for arranging the dropped drag sources: did you explore the Snap part of the D&D panel. It appears after selecting a drop target. You can define how the drag sources have to be arranged.

Another approach for your first question is to use the object actions available for each drag/drop action. More details in:
