If you create your own stencils or if you modify any shapes within existing stencils, you can share these stencils with other users. These stencils will also then be backed up when you run a backup of SI.

Export

1/ In the D-Tools SI window, click the Shapes tab, then click the Manage Stencils button and select Export and Import > Export.
