How to combine a software simulation and another responsive project?

I created a software simulation and I would like to paste it into a previously created Responsive project.  I have tried copying and pasting the slides, but when I did that, it messed up the software simulation (showed the actions, but all of the clicks and highlights showed up in a different part of the screen than in the original).

I also have tried creating a software simulation  within the responsive project, but the video screen is so small, and doesn't give me the option to view my desktop - only open folders or software programs.

I need to combine these two projects.

Any suggestions?

Hi, I am having a similar problem after recording a training simulation and pasting the slides into my responsive project. My project has fluid boxes, but the pasted slides do not and I don’t know how to add them or what to do. (Adobe Support told me to make the simulation separately and copy the slides in, because it wasn’t working when I simply tried to add a simulation to the project. When I called them back because the pasted slides didn’t work in the devices, they told me that simulations don’t work with responsive projects and I shouldn’t use them. This can’t be true, can it?) Can you help?

You added this same question to two threads, not a good practice.

,Is this simulation a demo, training or assessment simulation, please?

Just wanted to warn you... I am reading everyghing on the Captivate forum. Bit waste of time if same question appears twice.

So it is an interactive simulation. DId you see this tutorial by Pooja Jaisingh?

Building responsive simulations with Adobe Captivate 2017 - eLearning

You have already captured the simulation in a non-responsive project I suppose?


Yes, I had seen Pooja's tutorial, thanks though - I reviewed it again.

Yes, I captured the simulation as Support told me: Record a new / Software Simulation. (That was after trying to just use Slides/Software Simulation from within my project.

Which type of workflow did you use for the responsive project: Fluid Boxes or Breakpoint views?

It's not totally clear what the issues are in your situation but perhaps my video on the topic might shed some light.
