Convert any Shape in a Transform cage

[Subpath]

i apologize
there so many Transform cages in VS but there is still one that i miss.

Is it possible to convert a shape in a into a Transform cage?
So that I can have Shape Forms as a Transform cage without
having to recreate them from scratch.

Magix Graphics Designer (formerly known as Xara)
has such an possibility. You could copy a Shape
into the Clipboard and paste it as a Transform cage.

@Subpath If this refers to the "Envelope" shape effect, then yes, it is possible:

• open the Shape Effects panel.
• select the object to be distorted and add an Envelope effect (+ icon in panel -> Mesh -> Envelope).
• select both the object (with the envelope) and the shape to be used.
• highlight the "Envelope" effect in the panel.
• select the "Pick Shape" command from the panel menu.

There are other options to do this also (using shape styles / presets, or object roles).

I will add a copy/paste shape also!

Yes, it refers to the "Envelope" shape Transform cage.
I try the way you have described.

And thanks for adding the copy/paste Shape
