Incorporating .vss shapes into a template.

[Tatumsa]

As per the subject, I hav been given a .vss file with several shapes
and have been asked to put together a template that uses said shapes.
Can I create the template and just have those shapes used in it? So
when doing a File-->New-->Drawing thing?

Not sure if that came across right hehe.

Create a blank drawing and open the stencil. now do
menu File -> Save As
set the file type to Template, set the appropriate file name and if
there is a small traingle next to the Save button then click this and
select Workspace, that will save the stencil reference with the
template.
It might be a good idea to have the template and stencil in the same
folder. Distribute both.
