# Pre-Defined Shapes

Add a Shape to the ToolBar | Delete a Pre-Defined shape from the ToolBar

The Gobe Productive suite allows you to add any freehand, polygon, or Bezier curve (bezigon) graphic to the Shapes Tool on the ToolBar. This feature can be very useful for stringing the general shape of a logo or other regularly used shape.

## To Add a Shape to the ToolBar

1. Draw a shape. You can only save a freehand , polygon , or bezigon (Bezier curve) shape to the ToolBar.
2. Right click on the shape, and from the popup menu select Add to ToolBar.
3. The shape is added to the Pre-Defined Shapes list.

| NOTE: If you add a pre-defined shape to the ToolBar, only the shape outline is stored. Any color fills, outline colors, or other formatting options are not stored as part of the pre-defined shape.

## To Delete a Pre-Defined Shape from the ToolBar

When a new shape is added to the ToolBar, Gobe Productive writes a small file to the Shapes folder. This folder is located within the folder where Gobe Productive is installed.

1. Locate the Shapes folder and open it.
2. Inside this folder is a file for each pre-defined shape you have placed on the toolbar.
3. Locate the shape you wish to remove. Each file icon displays a small image of the shape.
4. Select the shape you wish to remove and press [OPTION] [T].

You will need to restart Gobe Productive (if it is running) for the shape to be removed from the ToolBar.
