How to Use the Pen Tool in Adobe Fireworks

May 28th, 2009

One of the most useful tools in many desktop graphic applications is the pen tool. The pen tool allows you to draw straight or smooth vector lines, plotting out points on the canvas that are joined by paths. Take a square as a simple example: each corner is a vector point with paths inbetween those points that repesent the straight edges of the square.

The pen tool allows you to draw simple shapes such as the square but with a little practice you’ll be able to draw any complex shape you want as if you were drawing with a pen by hand. Furthermore, as your complex shapes are made up of vector points and paths, you’ll be able to go back and edit your shape at any time and point as well as resize it without losing any quality in the shape.
