Create a composite of the content area 151

1.

With the rounded rectangle still selected, open the Auto Shape 
Properties panel by selecting Window > Auto Shape Properties (not 
Window > Auto Shapes).

2.

Enter 20 for the roundness of the first corner, and then press Enter.

Because the values are locked, changing one roundness value changes 
all the other values.

At the same time, Fireworks adjusts the corners of the shape on 
the canvas.

3.

Close the Auto Shapes Properties panel, and then click anywhere 
outside the canvas to deselect the rounded rectangle.

4.

Save your work.

Create a navigation sidebar area

Next, you decide to create a rectangle to define the navigation sidebar for 
the web page.

1.

Select the Rectangle tool in the Vector section of the Tools panel.

2.

Position the cross-hair pointer in the rounded rectangle you drew earlier 
and drag downward and to the right to create a vertical rectangle for 
the sidebar.

You can draw the rectangle anywhere on the canvas. You’ll resize and 
position it later.

When you release the mouse button, a rectangle appears, selected, in 
the area you defined.
