Capture Text Rectangle Issues

Post by benschatz »

Hi all,
I have several images with text rectangles and bubbles with text. When I insert the image in a Flare topic it looks great, but when I generate the project the size and location of the rectangles and bubbles is completely random!
Well, not completely - it is never where I want it.
Is there any way to put a rectangle in an image and have it stay where I put it? And with the same width & height?
I am using text containers in Capture (and not putting the text in the image) because the text needs to be translated.
My output is HTML5.

Ok, I found a solution.
The 'Auto-size caption object to fit text' option was checked in the target (in the Advanced tab). That option automatically resizes, reshapes and moves any text containers in images at random.
I turned it off and presto! Everything works!

Thanks for posting the fix. That setting does cause problems.
