No.  Smart line = custom smart shape.

Isn't "smart line" and "custom line" the same thing?

FWIW: My Settings Scrapbook plugin has been able to transfer custom line libraries for a couple of years at least, in versions of Finale all the way back to Fin2000.

I just looked a little more carefully at the 2006 enhancements and
found one thing that will be useful to me: Smart Line libraries.

For example, Bill Duncan has created some particularly useful Smart
Shape devices that include more elements than Finale has in its
libraries, like  an 8va sign with the usual dashed line following it
but with the addition of a clearly noticeable enclosed  "loco"
included at the end of the stretchable smart line. ......

Chuck,

I think the Smart Line libraries will be helpful too, especially if I ever get more organized along the lines of templates and a default file. But what I wanted to point out to you is that for the above example, with the possible exception of the enclosure around "loco", the custom line tool
would work quite well and is very flexible.

After looking at the smart line dialog box it appears enclosures aren't readily available, so maybe that was the point of touting Bill's product. I just wanted to make sure that you and others here were aware of the custom
line tool and what it could do with the above example.
