Fireworks8.0 Dream Journey (6): actual operation

Part Three: actual operation part

Many of the previous Fireworks8 said a number of new features, new skills, but even in many new features, if not to work to produce any good beneficial effects, I believe that we will not buy its account. In this section, we will continue to experience the new improvement of some functions brought by FIREWORKS8 in actual combat through the form of examples. And these new improvements for the actual combat should be said to be very helpful, what are the specific, first to sum up, to see which of our immediate work will produce practical help?

In this chapter, we will mainly introduce the following points of operation:

1, the new shape "Save time stamp" use;
2, the new part of the actual application of materials;
3, to the path can be edited again appended to the path of the text object;
4, the use of solid color shading filter commands;
5, enhance the mixing layer mode of explanation;
6, CSS format pop-up menu production export.

Believe that through these 6 aspects of the operation of knowledge, we have to Fireworks8 the actual combat function is enhanced, whether it will improve our efficiency will have a clear initial experience.

One, new shape "Save Timestamp" use

1. Open the Auto Shapes panel, select the Save Timestamp object, and drag and drop it to the editing area.

2, the editing area will automatically appear a saved time prompt box, the time display is the local machine time instruction.

3. Use the Subselection tool in the Toolbox to click on the insert time balloon to find that the inserted timestamp object is actually a combination of two text boxes.

4, since know is a text object, and then edit it, it is easier, through the property inspector, it can be done.

5, the inserted timestamp object, in fact, has lost the function of an automatic Shape object after it has been inserted into the Automatic Shape Action command, it simply exists as a composite object, or you can press the "CTRL+G" key combination to cancel its group, and then make the text object concrete.

[Summary]: "Save timestamp" the use of this automatic Shape object should be said to be very simple, practicality should be said to be more general, this thing for those who are accustomed to the creation of their own things with time to mark the classification of the preservation of users, it should be said to be a lot of convenience, save to knock the text of these times, hehe.

Second, the new part of the actual application of materials

Carefully compare the Fireworks8 inside and the difference between the pattern and the previous version of fireworks, found that it is really Fireworks8 inside does not add too much material and design, only in the fill, stroke material inside add a point of the material group, as shown in the following figure:

The pattern, then, is simply the addition of a set of metal pattern presets, as follows:

The specific use of the "point" will be in the "Solid Color Shadow" filter to explain the use of, here is not a demonstration, this section mainly through the production of three-dimensional gear, to specific look at the practical metal pattern group.
