Is there a way to move the buttons to any place on the slide in Captivate 12?

Can someone help with how to move around a button added to a blank slide to any corner of the slide as required? Drag and Drop does not work and can't seem to find any other option to do this. Am I missing something?

Objects in Captivate 12 are fixed in object blocks.  They are not able to be freely moved as they were in Captivate 2019.  This is due to the responsive design nature of Captivate 12.

Thanks, RodWard. In this case, what is the other way to move around object blocks to any place as needed? 

 

Secondly, how to reduce the size of SVG icons added to a slide to have 8 icons added in a single slide?

For your first question:  Don't use Captivate 12.  Use Captivate Classic, or another similar app that allows for pixel perfect object placement.

 

If you are using that other app that allows for exact placement, it should also allow you to resize SVG icons, and there should be no problem fitting only 8 image icons on a single slide.

You may be able to achieve your desired outcome using one or all of the following options. 

  • Dragging the entire button block up or down before or after other blocks
  • Adjusting the button block alignment and spacing found in the visual properties panel
  • Adjusting the button alignment options found in the visual properties panel
