	Hi, currently I'm having a problem, where nodes with shapes with OutlineFormulas depending on ShapeControlPoints are not stored in the XML-File. Is there any way to save the manipulated shapes in the XML-File? Sample Code: Code string outline = @"MoveTo(Width * p0.X/100,Height * p0.Y/100); LineTo(Width * p1.X/100,Height * p1.Y/100); LineTo(Width * p2.X/100,Height * p2.Y/100); LineTo(Width * p3.X/100,Height * p3.Y/100); LineTo(Width * p0.X/100,Height * p0.Y/100);"; node.Shape = new Shape(outline, "", new List<ShapeControlPoint> { new ShapeControlPoint("p0", 0, 0, 100, UnitType.Percentage, 0, 0, 100, UnitType.Percentage) { MaxXRelativeToWidth = true }, new ShapeControlPoint("p1", 0, 0, 100, UnitType.Percentage, 100, 0, 100, UnitType.Percentage) { MaxXRelativeToWidth = true }, new ShapeControlPoint("p2", 100, 0, 100, UnitType.Percentage, 100, 0, 100, UnitType.Percentage) { MaxXRelativeToWidth = true }, new ShapeControlPoint("p3", 100, 0, 100, UnitType.Percentage, 0, 0, 100, UnitType.Percentage) { MaxXRelativeToWidth = true }, }, "id"); Best regards, Cyrinael

	Hi, I serialize the Shapes using the ShapeLibrary-Class. But interestingly the ShapeControlPoints are not serialized and therefore when loading the ShapeLibrary and the Diagram, the Shapes are not displayed, because the OutlineFormula depends on the ShapeControlPoints. How can I serialize the control points as well? Best Regards, Cyrinael

	Hi, ShapeNode should be saving ShapeControlPoint parameter values under FormulaParams element in the XML. Control points are not saved in shape libraries indeed, we'll add serialization there for upcoming release. Regards, Slavcho Mindfusion

	Hi, This build should save control points in shape library - https://mindfusion.eu/_beta/wpfdiag341.zip Regards, Slavcho Mindfusion

	Hi Slavcho, thank you, the default control points are now serialized correctly in the ShapeLibrary. Nevertheless when a diagram is loaded, the customized control points of ShapeNodes which are contained in the FormulaPrams section of the xml are not set. Best regards, Cyrinael

	Hi Cyrinael, Saving and loading a ShapeNode with customized control-point positions works correctly for me. Please attach saved diagram and library files that show the problem, or email them to support@mindfusion.eu Regards, Slavcho Mindfusion

	Hi Slavcho, I attached my ShapeLibrary-File (templates11.tl.sl) and my Diagram (templates11.tl) after the saving process. Since I could not attach more than 3 files, I zipped it. Furthermore I added an image of the original ShapeNode and the loaded ShapeNode. Best Regards, Cyrinael

	Hi, I'm getting attached image by just loading the files - Code var lib = new ShapeLibrary(); lib.LoadFromXml("templates11.tl.sl"); Debug.WriteLine(lib.Shapes[0].ControlPoints.Count); diagram.LoadFromXml("templates11.tl"); Are you sure you aren't assigning the shape to a new node after load?

	Hi Slavcho, I have found the problem. The shape is not correctly loaded when a new node is created with the following constructor call. Code ShapeNode node = new ShapeNode(shapeNode); I have excluded that call now. Thank you, Cyrinael

	Actually the copy constructor should clone current parameter values too, because it is used for clipboard operations. This build fixes that - https://mindfusion.eu/_beta/wpfdiag341.zip Regards, Slavcho Mindfusion
