	For example, if I tried to instantiate a shape with the id "Rectangle" - how does the system behave? Does it override the original shape? Also, for shapes where an ID isn't specified, are they not included in the SHapeCollection? Thanks.

	Also, does the FromID method care about case in regards to the ID?

	After testing - Yes it does care about the case, and Yes it does override the existing shape. Cheers, Anthony

	That's right. Shapes with IDs are shared and are stored in the Shapes collection. Shapes without IDs are considered private for the node they are assigned to; I think they are even cloned by the Shape setter, so modifying such shape for a node won't affect other nodes. I hope that helps, Stoyan
