State No.: will automatically change to state 1, the next available state.

Another method of adding a new shape
1. When a shape is added to the library, the shape is placed at the upper, left-hand corner of the
cell. In some cases, however, it might be necessary to place the shape in a particular location
within the cell.
2. On the Window Property dialog (from the Option menu, select Window Property), check
the Using Function Key To Make Shape Library checkbox.
3. Create the desired shape. Create a Function Key. The area defined by the Function Key will
be the area that contains the shape. The mode of the Function Key does not matter. Do not
assign a shape or a label. This example shows a shape placed in the center of the library area.
When adding new shapes to existing libraries that come with the EZware-500 software,
remember that any future upgrade that you receive from Maple Systems may overwrite
existing libraries during installation. This will delete any new shapes that you have
entered! Therefore, we recommend that you create new libraries to store these shapes
or make backup files of the libraries before installing new upgrades.
