In respect of the second question in your original post, I'm not sure how much content has been stripped out of the Special Edition of PI 10, but you could always download a 30 day free trial of the full version from here and use that to get the custom shapes and other goodies. It may be possible to cannibalize the content of the full verion and add it to your SE version. Not sure of the ethics of this possibility, but that's for you to decide. Another possibility is that using your current installation of the program, you could go to the Help Menu/Product Updates on the Web and see what is available there.
Saludos,
Bob.
