Flexible Height of text caption and smartshape

Hello!

I have a big problem with text in text captions and smartshapes. I want to make the height of “text captions” or “smartshape” automatically be changed according to the width of screen (with the different devices). Logically the the text wraps according to the width of “Text Caption” or “smart shape” and the height of them should be also changed.

The problem is the height of these elements changed only with changing of break points (maximum 5 changes with 5 break points). I have checked the “check button” of Autosize Captions in Preferences. but also that did not effect!

Has anyone solution for this problem?

You will have to do one by one, sorry. Start with the primary view since there is inheritance to the lowever views. Normally for Breakpoint Views you should rarely use absolute size in px, the way to go is to have at least one size in %, the other one can be set to Auto if you want to keep the width/height ratio, or to % as well. For the font size you need to define the font size for each breakpoint in the object style of the text container.

but I have already inserted many text captions with “px” to height and “%” to width, now I want to modify them to be “80%” to width and flexible with text to height. what should I do?

You should never use px for size if you want to have the size adapting to the screen size. That is what I tried to explain in my first answer.

when I paste text there, the height is changed with text for each view.
but the problem is the height of text caption doesn’t be changed in the slide width between two views for example:
view width:1024: is okay
view width:600: is okay
when i want to see browser with for example 960. here is the problem. I find the same text caption height of view 1024!!!!

I have used “px” for size.

Did you use % for the size, not clear from your answer.

When I design the slide and set the sizes and positions, Autosize captions works fine but when I publish it to browsers. Height of Text Caption does not change only in break points (Ex: the 1st Break point is 1024 px and 2nd is 600 px. if I have device has 960 px as width.. at this situation the height of text captions is the same of 1024 px. that make sometime the last two lines of text does not appear)

Autosize captions works fine in non-responsive projects. In responsive projects with Breakpoint Views you’ll need to set up the Position Properties of the text containers correctly. For almost the screen width set up the width to 98%, do with the height what you want,but do not choose Auto because that will lead to fixing the Width/Height ratio.
