Fresco and Capture Library

[FlacoPicasso]

Im trying to use the shapes I've created in Capture but the only option I have in Fresco is basic shapes there's no library shapes. I'm using them both on an iPad Pro 2020. Anyone had this issue ?

If you 'long hold' on the shapes tool do you still only see Basic Shapes as an option?
I've just done a quick test from Capture, which told me I could use shapes in Fresco. I launched Fresco from Capture.
It didn't give me any indication of how to access my shapes but when I extended the tap on the Shapes tool it shows a Library Shapes and gives me my folder to select shapes from. It may take a little time for your shapes to appear.

I'm having the same issue. Launching the the app through capture did not give me the library shapes option. Can you advise?

This worked for me, hope it works for you!

Once you have the form saved as a Shape file on Capture:

- tapping the three dots next to the file name should bring up a menu. Export as... I chose SVG

- choose Save to Files/On My IPad 

The file then *magically* (immediately!) appeared in 'My Library' under 'Library Shapes', neither of which had been on my screen a moment before.

@FlacoPicasso and @sallyf16311767.

Please check that your Capture Shapes are black-and-white and not multiple color shapes. Multicolor shapes are not compatible with Fresco and will not show up in the Shapes panel.

Because the default setting for Shapes creation in Capture is multiple color it's really common people to create them without even realizing it.

Can multicolor be converted to black and withe?

@ Sue Garbaldi: I tested your theory by drawing a black and white shape.  I am POSITIVE I used only black and white.  I chose "shape" from the capture app.

This shape does not appear in the shape library either.

This MAY be a procedural or, some other issue, but Adobe really needs to address this with a program change or more specific instructions.  This topic seemes to be a very common struggle with Adobe users and this feature.

It's quite frustrating to see this feature suggested and not be able to execute it.

How about a detailed and specific video?

@Sue Garibaldi   An update on my comments.

I have also been creating brushes for Fresco.  If I don't use the correct source and process, say starting in PS, Fresco provides at least, although a bit ambigious, an error message when I try to support a brush, or in a way that Fresco doesn't like casting an erro: "Unsupported Brush".  I found I a far more successful if I drag the brush directly into the library panel inside the PS application.

This is the level of detail I think the community needs for shapes as well.  AND if the shape doesn't comply, Fresco should cast an error.

I hope you can get someone on your staff to do a detailed video demonstrating the specific sources and methods for shaped AND get development to have Fresco cast an error when something is wrong.

@Sue Garibaldi. This issue I have discovered is not with Fresco, it's with the Creative Cloud.

My Adobe account is from the US.  I am a US citizen living abroad.  To get Creative Cloud to work as expected I must use a VPN when using Capture to create the Fresco shape and to have it show up in Fresco.

So VERY annoying but I have for now a solution.

Creative Cloud needs to have a setting that honors the account no matter where I am in the world.  A VPN should not be a requirement.
