Problem translating click/highlight boxes when copy and pasting slides from another project

I'm baffled by this problem as it doesn't seem to make sense. I opened up a new project to record a simulation in and when I was done, I copy and pasted all the slides into the appropriate section in my "Master Project" if you will. After the paste, I noticed that all the clickboxes and highlight boxes I had taken the time to carefully resize were all out of wack in terms of position. Here's the kicker, I opened up a blank project and copy/pasted the same slides...this time the click and highlight boxes were in the correct position. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Neel

Oh, 'in terms of position'... I see...
Is the one project larger than the other? For example, the original perhaps at 800x600 and the new at 850x650?
Positioning may then be off relatively....
Pick a couple sample elements and note their x/y positions from the Properties panel in the first project (under 'Transform' in CP 5.5).
After pasting into the new, note those same x/y positions.
Is there a noticable factor?
If this is the issue, be sure the sizes are the same, do the paste, then expand the project later (and maybe everything will retain its anchors?)
I've not seen this occur in newer versions of CP.
You could try checking the 'Constrain Proportions' option in the properties of the original, just in case that helps 'constrain the position' too...total guess...

  • I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found

    You need to give a lot more information about the media specifications and the project properties you're using in the different projects.

  • Why does formatting get lost when copy and pasting slides between projects?

    I'm beginning to copy and paste several slides from a project that was created in Captivate 6. I've opened the project in 7.0.1 and saved it. Next, I've copy and pasted about 20-30 slides from the old project into my new template. In the process, many slides have lost "bold" and "bullets". It's worth noting that many slides have remained correct. I also find myself having to reset slide templates and toggle off quiz buttons that I've already toggled off in old project.
    This isn't part of the same problem, but related. When I copy slides from the new template I mentioned into the old one (in hopes that Advanced Actions would transfer correctly), I've noticed that none of the item names have transferred over with the copy and paste. Instead of seeing the button name I've created, it changes to "shape, text_caption, etc", the default.
    I'm hoping the copy pasting between projects becomes more efficient, I'm finding myself burning unneccessary time doing more QA and microscopic investigation, although I suppose more QA isn't always a bad thing.
    System is the following:
    OSX 10.8.5
    Captivate 7.0.1
    Safari 6.0.5
    Blood Type: oops, wrong forum.

    When copy/pasting between different versions that has always been a problem, especially with question slides. There seem always to be changes that make such a transfer difficult. Did you try to open the CP6 project first in CP7 and see what worked? And do you use exactly the same theme (object styles, master slides, skin editor)?
    Copy/paste slides, objects with advanced actions: bit same problem, works best if done between CP7 projects. The problem that each object needs to have a unique ID (name) is what causes the renaming to generic names.

  • Copy and paste clips from one project to another

    i have made highlight film of my kids playing sports over the months. i would like to make one that had bits and pieces of all the previous. how do i see all the frames like you can in the events section?

    Hi
    NO ! - and when iMovie moved from the 1 to HD6 series (in last versions this worked greatly) - to iMovie'08 or 09 or 11
    This basic and very vital function was lost (among lot's of Important functions)
    There is a cumbersome way around (most probably more than one way to do it - this is mine)
    • Duplicate the project with needed clips (ctrl-click on its title in Project Library list)
    • In Copy - Delete what You don't need
    • Share it as a full Quality QuickTime .mov
    • Import this into Your New Project
    Cons: Effects and texts and so on can not be further edited as the clip-movie is flatted to one piece - If You need to do this I suggest You to re-build from scratch.

  • How to NOT retain formatting when copying and pasting text

    Captivate 7 keeps the formatting from my text sources when I paste into a Text Caption which is not what I need. Anything I could find in the forums where questions relating to "keeping" the source formatting. I don't want this, I want Captivate to keep its text formatting when I paste text into a text caption. I even did a test creating a new project and using one of the Cap 7 themes. If I paste text in the default capture caption style object, it retains the formatting of the copied text source.  I have been working with Captivate 7 since a few months now and, until this morning, when I copied and pasted text from another source into my Captivate Text Caption, it retained the format of my Captivate Text Caption object. This is exactly what I need. How can I get this behavior back?
    I appreciate any help. Thank you.

    Hi there
    Well, first I would report it as undesired behavior and possibly ask for an enhancement that allows us to right-click and paste without formatting. Do this using the link below:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
    For now, you have a couple of options.
    1. Perform a side trip. Open a text editor such as Windows Notepad or Apple Textpad and paste, then copy back to the clipboard. Then paste the text into the caption. (When pasting into the text editor, formatting is stripped)
    2. On Windows machines, you can usually find a clipboard utility that allows you to paste as pure text. In fact, one such application is called PureText.

  • Premiere Pro CC(2014) crashing when copying and pasting clips

    Has anyone found Premiere to hang when copy and pasting clips from one sequence to another, or even within the same sequence.

    Thanks

    I don't recall reports of such a problem. We'll need more info to attempt to troubleshoot the issue. Start with the prompts on this page: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum? Especially the details on your computer.
    Also, please report the following:
    the types of content in your sequence, particularly in segments you're pasting. The source(s) of the content, the codec(s), the duration of copied segments?
    where the content is stored?
    whether either sequence was imported from a third-party program via XML or the like?
    the sequence settings of both sequences?
    what effects & transitions are in use, particularly in the segments you're pasting?
    what is resource usage before and during the copy/paste operation? Is a CPU getting pegged? Does memory usage spike precipitously?

  • Losing Layer Information and Names when Copying and Pasting

    I have an illustrator CS4 file that has a character created on a single layer.  Within that layer are many sub-layers, all with specific naming conventions.  For instance, there is a layer titled head, and within head are eyes nose mouth etc. When I copy, and paste it into another document all my layer information is destroyed. Any ideas?

    In the target document, check "Paste remembers layers" in the layers panel.

  • Muse 2014.2 : when I copy and paste svg from Illustrator to Muse, i have no transparency.

    Hello. Muse 2014.2 : when I copy and paste svg from Illustrator to Muse, i have no transparency. Only by importing saved svg file I have transparency.
    In official Adobe (promo) Tutorial  in the same operation - svg is transparent, link: Import SVG | Adobe Muse CC tutorials
    Please help me!. It would be very usefull copy&paste svg with transparency.
    Andrew Maola

    Hi.
    Thank you for explaining the theory about rendering in Muse but something doesn't work.
    I'm running on Win7 - CC2014.2. on 2 different computers. Efe Of course the transparency displays correctly when I preview my page in the browsers (All browsers - also IE11).
    Also in preview mode svg is very good but in design mode
    In order to render the SVG at design time, Muse hands the SVG to Safari on the Mac and Internet Explorer on Windows and asks it for a bitmap. This bitmap is only used at design time and when viewing the site in a browser that does not support SVG. Unfortunately, the bitmap returned by Internet Explorer strips out partial transparency. Fully transparent pixels should be preserved at design time and all transparency should be preserved when you actually view your site in the browser.
    We have not seen or heard of differences in the handling of transparent pixels between copy/pasting and save/import. Hence, I'm wondering if the copy/paste issue is only with partially transparent pixels and if the case that succeeds in a save/import workflow is for fully transparent pixels. To be clear, this transparency issue should only be during design time on Windows. There shouldn't be any issues on the Mac or in the browser.

  • How do I get my right click on mouse to copy and paste?

    How do I get my right click on mouse to copy and paste?

    As long as the right-click displays the dropdown menu, then it is enabled and you just have to select "copy" or "paste".
    I find the quickest way to copy/paste is to use the keyboard shut-cut of, command C and command V. Quick and easy and less moving of the mouse.
    Good luck.

  • I am unable to copy and paste text from mozilla, clipboard error

    Hi-
    It seems I am suddenly unable to copy and paste anything from mozilla into other text editors (word, wordpad, notepad).
    I am unable to use ctrl c or v, when trying to do Edit-copy or paste it seems as though nothing is "recognized" by Mozilla.
    I'm using a netbook running Win7.
    In an effort to fix this problem I restarted firefox, started in safe mode, disabled all plugins, returned to default settings, and have done basically everything except for uninstalling and reinstalling.
    Are there suggestions? I looked in older posts, but I also do not have the pushow.dll(or something like it) or the new.net(or comparable) malware so I cant get rid of that either.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Firefox button > Web Developer > Error Console or {Ctrl + Shft + J} from the keyboard
    Do you have any messages relating specifically to that error? <br />
    You can right-click a message and use Copy to get that message into the clipboard - and then Paste it here. (If that works.)
    Beyond that, try a new Profile (don't Delete your current Profile). <br />

  • Copy and paste image from IE to Illustrator

    Dear Illustrator users,
    I need to copy and paste images from IE10 or IE11 (Internet Explorer) to Illustrator (CS6, CC).
    I right-click image, choose "copy" in Internet Explorer
    now I can paste it to mspaint, word, photoshop, etc. It works fine..
    but when I try to paste image to Illustrator, it pastes url link instead of image.
    I know this problem comes with IE10. When I downgrade to IE9, it start to work fine.
    Any suggestion?
    Kind Regards,
    Jarda

    Hi Jacob,
    Thank you for a quick answer. Your suggestion is correct, but saving image to a file is an additional step.
    Since I do this task "thousands a day", this is unacceptable
    Any other suggestion?

  • Why I am not able to copy and paste photos from my desktop to my Itouch?

    I am not able to copy and paste photos from my computer to my Itouch. I use to be able to do it. Now there is an error message that says my device is wither disconnected or stopped responding.
    But when I plugged in the Itouch, it still shows on my computer, still able to see my existing pictures in it. Just not able to paste/drag any new pictures into the folder.
    Anyone has this problem and able to solve it?
    Thank you.

    Hi BobRz
    Thanks for you suggestion but it didn't work - are there other ways for solving this problem? Or is it because my files that I want to copy and paste onto my hard disk etc are too big? (However there is space on my hard disk and it works on a PC)
