Adding Auto Shapes to drawings
The Assets panel contains a Shapes tab where you can find additional Auto Shapes. These Auto Shapes are generally 
more complex than those that appear in the Tools panel. Instead of drawing these Auto Shapes directly on the 
canvas, you place these Auto Shapes into your drawing by dragging them from the Assets panel to the canvas.
To create an Auto Shape using the Assets panel:
1
Select Window > Auto Shapes to display the Shapes tab, if it is not already visible.
2
Drag a Auto Shape preview from the Assets panel to the canvas.
3
If desired, edit the Auto Shape by dragging any of its control points.
Adding new Auto Shapes to Fireworks
You can add new Auto Shapes to Fireworks using the Fireworks Exchange website. Some new Auto Shapes will 
appear in the Shapes tab in the Assets panel, and others will appear in the Tools menu, grouped with the other Auto 
Shapes.
You can also add new Auto Shapes to Fireworks by writing the JavaScript code for the Auto Shapes yourself. For more 
information, see Extending Fireworks.
To add new Auto Shapes to Fireworks:
1
Select Window > Auto Shapes to display the Shapes panel, if it’s not already visible.
2
From the Shapes panel’s Options menu, select Get More Auto Shapes.
Fireworks connects to the web and navigates to the Fireworks Exchange website.
3
Follow the onscreen instructions to select new Auto Shapes and add them to Fireworks.
