bobc4d Hi its easy, start rebelle goto Menu > Help > Show Library Folder... this will open the Folder where Rebelle store its Librarys copy the whole Stencil Folder where ever you like them to have, thats all Stencils are just simple greyscale or B/W .PNG Images you can copy other Folder too if you like

bobc4d you are very welcome because of stencils, i like to add a feature of stencils that you may not know this feature ist possible since Rebelle 7.1.3, before it was buggy here the Feature: you are able to create a Selection from a Stencil put a simple Stencil on the Canvas select it and go to : Menu > Edit > Selection > create Selection from Stencil Hide your Stencil then so that only your this Selection is visible No you could transform that Selection with: Transform or Deform or Perspective or Warp create your Transformation with any of that Tools and confirm that transformation. now you have a transformed Selection the fun fact is, you can create a stencil now from this Selection, in the Stencil Panel Menu choose: Create Stencil from Selection apart from some fun, this have also a useful use its difficult to bring a stencil or the content of a stencil to a defined size create a Selection from it choose the Transform tool and change the Values in the Transform Panel to every defined size you like, confirm the Transformation and create a Stencil from the Selection and you have the content of that Stencil at a defined size have fun beeing creative :)
