Fireworks
allows you to fine tune your stroke through the
use of its Edit Stroke Dialog Box. You
can access it by double clicking on the Tip Preview
Window or using the Stroke Panel Pop Out Menu.
If you prefer to use a graphic tablet when you design
you can use this dialog box to modify the pressure
sensitivity settings for your pen in addition to a
broad range of brush settings. Try experimenting
with the various settings.

Saving
a Modified Stroke/Brush
No
matter how many changes you have made to a Stroke,
Fireworks will reset it back to its default setting
when you restart the program. If you would like
to use a custom Stroke in multiple documents you must
save it. You can do this by accessing the Stroke Panel Pop
Out Menu.
(Figure
8.9)
The
Save Brush As Dialog Box will appear prompting you
to input a name. Give your brush a name and {Click}
on the "OK" button. If you check the Stroke Name
drop down menu you will find your custom stroke listed
there available for use with any document you choose. The
Stroke Panel Pop Out Menu also allows you
to edit, rename, and delete a stroke if you wish.
Below
you will find examples of two different stroke settings.
Use
the circle that you’ve placed in your Document Window and
experiment with the various Stroke Panel Settings.
