Can you add shapes to the library?

Found out on my own--went to craftedge site---to tutorials--how to add to libraries. I d/l Lib It Up and was able to make new libraries.

Don't add shapes to the regular shapes library.. It will crash your SCAL.. I just tried it and it crashed.. Thank goodness I was able to roll it back to a previous time..

maybe that won't happen for everyone. Rebecky...let us know how it goes for you.

Rebecky, please let us know how you like this...I have never downloaded the lib it up program, as I did not feel it was necessary when I could access my folders quite easily for my files and a preview shows there now in SCAL2 later versions. I have also decided not to put all my pattern papers in the pattern section, as I can access my own folder easily for that too.

I am wondering if only small shapes can go in the addition shapes library or whole projects with multiple pieces.

I just thought it would be a lot of work to get it set up.

Ohhh I'm betting by adding libraries she doesn't mean adding to the basic shapes, fall shapes etc..

A lot of people feel that it slows down their SCAL.

Yes, I added to the SHAPES lib. I had some sizziz shapes that I wanted to use often, so the tutorial was quite clear on how to do it. I did this Sat. the 5th and I accessed them this morning the 7th without any problem. Can't explain why some are having problems with this-- must be the individual computers. But I can't tell that my scal is any slower nor did it crash. I do agree about adding patterns, as they are so easy to access anyway through the program.

I used Lib it Up today to add a new shape category to the shape library of SCAL2. Instructions that come with Lib it Up are very clear and I now have my favorite swirls available with just one click instead of importing the .svg.

ADDITIONAL HELP - Preparing the files in Inkscape.

When creating your shapes in Inkscape I found that making them 1" to 1.5" in size works best, you'll have to play a bit depending on your image. I installed the images 3 times until I got it the way it looked best.

Make each image in a separate .svg file and put them all in one folder.
