Drawing With The Pen Tool And Bezigon Tool - MACROMEDIA FREEHAND 10-USING FREEHAND Use Manual

In addition to new and improved tools and panels that enhance your work
experience, FreeHand 10 offers a new array of features that allow you to move
seamlessly from print to Web.
And you can now use FreeHand with other applications more smoothly and
efficiently than ever.
Using the Navigation panel, you can assign URL links to objects or create notes
that export with your document. You can also assign Flash actions to FreeHand
objects, to create interactive Flash movies that you can export as SWF files. For
more information, see "Adding names and notes to objects" on page 191,
"Attaching URLs to objects and text" on page 373, and "Assigning Flash actions"
on page 380.
Master pages are special nonpasteboard pages that can contain any object or
graphic symbol that ordinary pages can contain except for page numbers. They
provide a method of easily creating objects and setting page attributes shared by a
range of pages in a document. You can change a master page at any time, and the
changes you make are reflected in each child page. Master pages are saved with the
document and can be imported or exported as library items. For more
information on master pages, see "Working with master pages" on page 104.
The enhanced Pen tool features in FreeHand 10 let you make changes to your
illustration mid-path. The Pen tool, in addition to conforming with Fireworks
and Flash functionality, adds compatibility with the Adobe Illustrator pen tool
without changing how the tool works in FreeHand. For more information, see
"Drawing with the Pen tool and Bezigon tool" on page 149.
The Pen tool includes the following functionality:
•
The new Show Solid Points preference lets you display points as a solid shape
for easier editing.
•
New smart cursors similar to those used in Illustrator show what action will
happen if you click at the Pen's location in the drawing.
•
FreeHand 10 remembers the last active end point of a path, allowing you to
perform other actions and then easily return to editing the path.
