Images and Responsive Design in Captivate 2017

In Captivate 2017 do I have the option of deciding where an image statts on the x and y access for each responsive breakpoint? So far I am unable to do this!

So far, when I move an image in one breakpoint it moves in the other breakpoints to the same x and y access! Is this just the way it is with Captivate 2017? Because if it is, it's very frustrating. I am sure there is an option I am missing here. I need the freedom to choose where I want the image to be within each breakpoint.

Right now I don't want to work with breakpoints. It seems too limiting. I choose Remove Fluid Boxes from the Properties. Is there anything else I have to do?

Correct answer Lilybiri

Confusing Fluid Boxes with Breakpoint Views? Those workflows are different. Tried to explain this in:

Fluid Boxes Or Breakpoint Views? - Captivate blog

Which work flow do you use? In Fluid Boxes you are NOT able to use Position Properties which is necessary to define the exact location of an image. You have to switch to Breakpoint Views to do that, but then you'll lose the Fluid Boxes work flows. Switching occurs in Project menu, default responsive projects start in Fluid Boxes workflow.

Okay I'm just not getting this. 

I go to File/New Project/ and I choose Responsive.

I now see the Responsive sizes as in this image

Are these not breakpoints?

Then I have the option of adding Fluid Boxes.

Are not fluid boxes boxes to add elements into?

Do not these fluid boxes display differently in different break points?

Are not breakpoints the sizes that different digital tools display the captivate published file such as shown above? 

By the way, I just learned that I must be in the Masterslides in order to Remove Fluid Boxes.

And I learned from your post that I am NOT able to add Fluid Boxes in a MasterSlide. Thanks for that.
