To merge two open paths:
1
Select the Pen tool in the Tools panel.
2
Click the end point of one of the paths.
3
Move the pointer to the end point of the other path and click.
Auto-joining similar open paths
You can easily join one open path with another that has similar stroke and fill characteristics.
To auto-join two open paths:
1
Select an open path.
2
Select the Subselection tool and drag an end point of the path within a few pixels of the end point of the similar 
path. 
The end point snaps to the other path, and the two become a single path.
Editing paths
Fireworks offers several methods for editing vector objects. You can change an object’s shape by moving, adding, or 
deleting points, or you can move point handles to change the shape of adjacent path segments. Freeform tools let you 
alter the shape of objects by editing paths directly. You can also use path operations to create new shapes by 
combining or altering existing paths. 
Editing with vector tools
In addition to dragging points and point handles, you can use several Fireworks tools to edit vector objects directly.
Bending and reshaping vector objects 
The Freeform tool allows you to bend and reshape vector objects directly instead of manipulating points. You can 
push or pull any part of a path, regardless of where the points are located. Fireworks automatically adds, moves, or 
deletes points along the path as you change the vector object’s shape.
