What is WrapPoint?

[Paul Wilson CTDP]

Has anyone encountered the feature in Adobe Captivate 2017 called WrapPoint? I decided to go through and compare version 9 with the 2017 edition and found this entry in the Defaults subcategory of Preferences. This checkbox was not in Cp9. The Help link for this page offers no information about the feature known as WrapPoint. My instinct is that it would have something to do with text wrapping but checking it seems to have no impact on this.

Hi Paul,

Here is a little description about Wrap point,  in the chapter "fluid boxes in adobe captivate"

Responsive Project Design with Adobe Captivate

but i have not yet tested this feature

Wrap point is a percentage, that is linked with possible rearranging of objects in a fluid box. The way wrapping will occur (squeeze, to next row....) is set in the Properties panel.

Got it thanks. I found it strange that in the prerelease this must have been turned on by default and yet off in the released version (just did a fresh install).

More settings should better be turned on by default, like backup.

[Paul Wilson CTDP]

Agreed.

Hi Paul,

If you mean the "Enable Wrap point" setting in the Preferences, then that option is for enabling multi-level wrap point settings for your project. Currently, with the checkbox disabled, the Wrap point will be visible only for your Root(or parent) Fluid Box.

Thanks for clarifying, Mohana!

Thank you Mohanadas, that helps in my understanding.
