Creating an Online Shape LibraryCreate a shape library that “lives” on the ShapeChef servers and can be accessed by multiple users
Enter your email address to create a new online shape
library.
Switch to the Shared Shapes tab …
… or click the + button.
• The system will check if there’s already an account for your email address. If no account exists, you can create a new one by entering your name and a password.
