Blue and gray lines? What the difference? Help with a Prototype issue!

[taylorb40053457]

Hi, 

This is the first time I'm using "animations" in XD so apologies if this is a dumb question. I'm trying to build a slider that when dragged will trigger a number to pop up. I followed a tutorial and things were fine until I entered the Prototype phase. In the tutorial, the person uses a gray straight line to animate but when I try, it's a blue curved line. I can only assume there is a difference between the two since I'm unable to get the slider animate. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Hi Taylor,

Thank you for reaching out and sorry to hear that you're having trouble using autoanimate in protoype. Basically bluelines are the connectors in prototype mode which comes with artboard/element selected in prototype mode and gray lines are all the connectors which are connected with the artbaord when the artboard is selected. I hope this resolved your question.

you have mentioned you have problem with slider animate is it possible for you to share the file and video so that we can understand your Issue clearly and test it on our end?

For better understanding, In the Image [My blue Line] which you have shared, shows you have selected a specfic element so you are able to see only blue line but in the Image[Gray line]artboard is selected which shows all the connectors connected with that artboard so you are able to see gray lines.

We're sorry for the inconvenience. please feel free to update this discussion in case you need further assistance and we will be happy to help..

Thanks,

Chethan
