Using The Grid; Using The History Panel To Undo And Repeat Multiple Actions - MACROMEDIA FIREWORKS 8-USING FIREWORKS Use Manual

Using the grid

The Fireworks grid displays a system of horizontal and vertical lines on the canvas. The grid is
useful for placing objects precisely. In addition, you can view, edit, resize, and change the
color of the grid.
The grid does not reside on a layer, nor is it exported with a document. It is merely a
design tool.
To show and hide the grid:
Select View > Grid > Show Grid.
To snap objects to the grid:
Select View > Grid > Snap to Grid.
To change the grid color:
1. Select View > Grid > Edit Grid.
2.
Select the new grid color from the color box pop-up window, and click OK.
To change the size of the grid's cells:
1.
Select View > Grid > Edit Grid.
2. Enter the appropriate values in the horizontal and vertical spacing text boxes, and click OK.
Using the History panel to undo and repeat multiple
actions
With the History panel, you can view, modify, and repeat the actions taken to create the
document. The History panel lists the most recent actions you have performed in Fireworks,
up to the number specified in the Undo Steps field in the Fireworks Preferences dialog box.
With the History panel, you can do any of the following:
Quickly undo and redo recent actions.
Select recently performed actions from the History panel and repeat them.
Copy selected commands to the Clipboard as the JavaScript text equivalent.
Save a group of recently performed actions as a custom command, and then select it from
the Command menu to reuse as a single command. For more information about creating
commands using the History panel, see "Scripting with the History panel" on page
