Setting capture size for responsive software simulation projects in CP 2019

[Eilmer]

I've created many software sim projects with Captivate, but this is my first time trying to do it as a responsive project (also this is my first responsive project with Captivate) and my first project with Captivate 2019.

The project is intended for desktop-laptop-iPad screens and not anything smaller. I've done some test captures with the default responsive dimensions of 1024 x 627, but I'd like more width and height. Any recommendations or tips on larger screen dimensions for a responsive software sim project?

Why should it be responsive, why not rescalable HTML5 since you don't aim small browser resolutions? Especially for software simualtions....

That's a great idea. I can't believe I didn't think of that. Maybe it's because I'm eager to do a responsive project in Captivate.

Thanks!

Sure, but personally I don't believe that a software simulation is really appropriate for a responsive project with fluid boxes. Try another type of topic.

That makes sense. I wondered about that too. My client (who knew very little about eLearning) initially wanted the training to be accessible from all devices. I talked him out of that pretty quickly.

Glad to have been of help.
