Image Map issue

Post by ChristyPatton »

I am attempting to map an image. When I right click on 'Image Map', the tool opens but the image doesn't show up. I can open previously mapped images and no images. Anyone have any ideas? There's no way this is a bug.

Maybe the contrast on your monitor got thrown off??? If you disable the "Fade Out Image" icon in the image map toolbar, does your image show up then?

That was it. Stupid User issue.

Thank you for your help.

My brother refers to it as "a loose nut behind the keyboard", which I find kind of funny.

"stupid user" is a term I picked up at a contract job. The testers had to ensure they thought of and recreated all 'stupid user' stunts. Anything they might click on had to be tested.

Obviously I clicked on something, some time ago, and forgot about the feature.

Loose nut...

I have Flare 11.1 and I don't get the Image Map option at all. Is there a certain version of Flare you must have to use this feature? When I right click, Image Map is disabled or greyed out. I only have the Hyperlink Image option.

I think the option was there in v11. Could you be working in a snippet file?

Hmm, nope, no snippets. I don't have Madcap Capture, could that be why?
