1. Re: Captivate 8 Drag drop - Many to Many as correct answers? via type.
You will have to create multiple correct answers, and don't use type in this case. Only with the wizard you'll not be able to do it. I never used the wizard in CP8, because it seems not to be available for Expert mode, so I cannot help you with it but based on what I know about previous version, the wizard is too limited to create this kind of functionality for D&D

2. Re: Captivate 8 Drag drop - Many to Many as correct answers? via type.
hi david,
As per my understanding of your issue, You have 3 resistors(drag sources) and 3 Boxes to accept resistors(drag targets). Any box can get any resistor making 6 possible combinations which is 6 multiple correct answers possible.You can do this by 2 ways.
1st way
1.Make all the resistors as single drag source type.
2.Make boxes as a single drag target type.
3.Now match single drag source with drag target.
or
2nd way
1.You can have multiple correct answers which is 6 as in this case.
2.You can set multiple answers through correct answers dialog box.
then
now for every target make the accept count to 1 source. You can choose either "On accept replace" or "on accept go back" action.
Try this and let me know if this is what you wanted to achieve.

Hi Devraj,
Thanks for advice. The second approach is what I need. Each resistor needs to be able to go in any drop target designated for resistors. That way it doesn't matter which resister is dragged and drop into the 3 allocated targets if they all have the same resistor value. etc... Certainly I would like that flexibility to both have or not have that functionality as required for each situation.
It seems the Wizard is no good for this seeing Lily's advice above. Once you group items, they only can be dropped into one drop target. That's fine in some situations, but other situations might require more flexibility to make usage easier, to avoid the one in three chance of dropping the correct item into the correct target if all items are exactly the same. e.g. if you have 3 ten Ohm resistors, you don't want to have to try up to 3 times to drop the same correct resistor in one drop target. You want them to be able to be dropped into any of the targets allocated for those 3 objects on the first drag drop attempt. etc....
I will have a go at the second approach. Only been using this Captivate for a week, but it looks impressive.

Thanks David for Your feedback on captivate. It encourages us to provide much better product.
I think the first way is a bit Easy as your case is concerned. Since the Drag sources and targets are similar.

Devraj,
Actually I think I used your first method. I had about 10 drag sources, some of the same type and some not and 25 drop targets of the same type to deal with.
The approach I used was to group some of the Drag Source Objects ( like common parts such as multiple wire connector images, 4 in total ) but not group the Drop Target objects ( 25 rectangular shapes that make up the circuit board grid ). That did work successfully. I'm slowly getting to understand the way this drag and drop object type grouping works.
My next test is to Group the Drop Targets by Drop type that can accept the corresponding Drag type. Thus for my 5 x 5 grid of rectangles objects, the drop rectangle objects that are designated for a given wire connector, would be assigned a drop type of that wire connector. If this can work, it could save even more time, when setting the correct answers. i.e. I would just set the correct answer as a drag type and drop type relationship. I think this could make it easier if I had a really big grid of drop rectangles, as I won't have to specify every single drag drop object relationship.
Unfortunately so far this method is not working. I keep getting the Incorrect Answer message when testing, even though I know it's the correct drag drop answer. I know the drag source group type works, but the drop target group type is not working in the correct answer association with the drag group type.

Hi Devraj,
Do you know if there are any bugs with the drag drop quiz? Grouped Drop Targets is not working for me as described in my prior post.
Thanks,

Hi David,
Grouping the drop targets works fine. I think you are going wrong in setting up the Drag and drop settings. Also check the Correct Answers dialog box.It should be in sync with the matching of source and targets on slide.Sometimes deleting some source or targets, or Changing the matching may cause an issue.You need to open correct ans palette and delete the rows which have warning message(yellow icon).
Can i look your Drag and Drop settings in Drag and drop panel.? Can you please share your cptx file(interaction slide) or post the snap shot of your drag and drop settings.?
You can share your cptx file at( dgp at adobe dot com.)

HI Devraj,
Seems you are correct. I did a simpler test using a 3 x 3 grid of rectangular shapes as drop shapes and it worked fine using drop groups.
I must have messed something up in my original more complex 5 x 5 drop grid of rectangular shapes.
Now that I know it can work, so I will try again with a 5 x 5 drop grid of shapes.
Thanks,
David
