My Shapes

If you have shapes that you use frequently in different dishes, you can add it to "My Shapes" for fast access. 
This feature is in beta mode. See known issues below.

Saving a Shape to My Shapes

In a dish, edit the shape you want to add:


Tap the star in the lower left corner to add the shape to the My Shapes library. (Note: the star will not change or be filled in.)

You will see a message confirming that your selection has been saved to My shapes. 

To Add a Shape from My Shapes to a Dish

Tap +Shape, the new shape options will appear. Choose My Shapes.


You'll see your library of My Shapes.

  1. To rename a shape, click on the name bar (not the image of the shape).
  2. To add a shape to your dish, highlight a shape and tap ADD.
  3. To delete a shape, highlight a shape and tap delete.

Known Issues

This feature is in beta mode. Known issues that will be corrected soon: 
  1. When you add My Shapes shape to a dish, it appears to hold the ingredient color and position of the shape from the dish where you saved it, but it shouldn't and will not print with those original attributes. My Shapes should only save the shape design itself. When you add a My Shape to a dish, you need to assign an ingredient and position to the shape. Once assigned, the shape may not appear correctly in shape edit mode, but will appear properly in the dish and print preview, and will print properly. 
  2. The sort functions aren't operational. We will correct the alphabetical sort, and remove the last print sort button as it's not relevant.
