Draw a path with curved segments

1. In the Tools pane, select the Pen tool.

2. Click to place the first corner point.

3. Move to the location of the next point, and then drag to produce a curve point. Each time you drag, Fireworks extends the line segment to the new point.

   

   
   

4. Continue plotting points. If you drag a new point, you produce a curve point; if you just click, you produce a corner point.

   You can temporarily switch to the Subselection tool to change the location of points and the shape of curves as you draw. Press Control (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) while dragging a point or point handle with the Pen tool.

5. Do one of the following:

   • To end the path as an open path, double-click the last point or select another tool. When you select certain tools and then return to the Pen tool, Fireworks resumes drawing the object at your next click.

   • To close the path, click the first point you plotted. The beginning and end points of a closed path are the same.
