Photoshop :: Importing Vector Content Into Fireworks
Feb 7, 2006
why can't I directly import an illustrator cs2 file into macromedia fireworks mx or macromedia fireworks 8, or save the document as a illustrator 8 file and import that? (which is what fireworks says to do) It frustrates me that I can;t import them as a vector unless I import/place the file in phtoshop cs2 as a smart image then save that as a new document, them importing that into fireworks.Is there something I am doing wrong? Or is there a special way to import other vector ....

I've been having an issue with Adobe CC Fireworks. Every time I try to copy a vector shape or an image from illustrator and paste it to fireworks, I get this error: "Alert can't open the illustration". I am running OS 10.8.4 and I've tried installing it on a newly purchsed MacBookPro and on an iMac but I still get the same error.

This has been bugging me for a while, and have not seen anything to help me out, but is it possible to import vector art (aka ai files) into the path layer? I know you can export the path into an ai file, and you can raster an ai file when you open it, but would like to be able to import vector art as a working path in photoshop...

I am tracing a simple raster shape in a new vector layer and I want to know how I can remove a portion of the content from the center. Picture a shape like a letter "o" where there is shape data comprising the perimeter ring, and no shape data in the center. I trace the perimeter of the the shape making a solid eliptical-type shape, but I need to then remove a portion of the center of the shape so that only the ring of the O has vector data. How can I do this?

I am attempting to import audio into VS5. The file is named VTS_01_3. I have the music file as MPEG layer-3 audio [MP3]. The music plays fine with AVS and Windows Media Player.
The music was ripped off of a DVD initially but appears to play OK but on attempting to bring it into VS5 using Import from Digital Media I get the dialogue box "There is no valid content".

I have a vector drawing of a logo, currently in adobe illustrator format. I'd like to create a 2D sketch in Autodesk Inventor and then insert this drawing into the sketch as a shape that can only be placed and scaled.
The way I'd expect this to work is essentially that I'd get a rectangle X enclosing vector object Y, and that I'd then be able to create a fully constrained Inventor sketch by simply constraining the corners of this rectangle X. Is it possible to do something along those lines, and if so what is the best practice for it?Â
What I tried, which failed, was this:
1. Converted the AI file to a .DWG file
2. Used the "Insert ACAD" command to place the file in Inventor with the Constrain End Points and Apply geometric constraints boxes checked (other boxes were unchecked)
3. Waited for a surprisingly long time for this operation to complete, maybe 30s on a 16GB 2.6GHz quad machineÂ
The result of this operation is that I now see my imported geometry, BUT all vectors are treated as individual shapes and I have 2637 dimensions needed.

What I am trying to do is importing a CorelDraw file into Inventor and extruding a few features. The point is to mimic a silkscreen file on metal work. My work process has been as such: create the file in CorelDraw and change all lines/shapes to curves. Save the complete CorelDraw as a dwg. Open the dwg in Inventor and copy and paste the sketch into a new part in Inventor. This process seems to work for simple parts. As soon as there is text and more complicated features there is alot of points which slows my computer down and makes it impossible to do anything. Any way to auto-reduce points in a sketch or have a better way of importing vector files into Inventor? I have tried importing the text as text instead of curves but it does not transfer correctly.

The way i see it that photoshop is a great program and so if fireworks, i have used fireworks since the days of Macromedia Fireworks MX and i have just started to use photoshop within the past year or so. when i got Photoshop CS3 and Fireworks CS3 I found that fireworks has a wider selection of styles for fonts and what not than photoshop has. so for me Fireworks is a bit better.

Looking at the education price for each license, Fireworks is much lower compared to Photoshops...which is a PLUS.
I understand Photoshop is the leader in image editing but Fireworks can do what Photoshop does, right?
Which would you personally recommend out of the two?
I doubt I have time to learn both program and once I start, I would like to remain with that program.

I have noticed some annoying things about initial interaction with PS that I wanted some quick feedback on:
* I know PS can not use layered PNG. Is there any tool out there that can convert these to PSD with layers intact? I have a ton of old work that is in that format and will cry if I have to recreate everything.
* I noticed that the select tool is very picky in PS. If I am working on a layer or object, I can not select out of that object to activate another layer or object. I have to confirm changes (annoying pop up) and select the object or layer from the layer panel....EVERY TIME. Is there a way to change this behavior?
* The text tool is defaulted to show in PT. Is there a way to change this to default in pixels? I am using Photoshop for the web in most cases, not print.
* The status bar (bottom left in Mac) can show document dimensions, but it is always in inches. Can I change this to pixels?

I switched from Photoshop to Fireworks back in 1999 - because of its mix of Vector & Raster editing, slice/export and GIF animation capabilities. But... my command of Photoshop and Illustrator has suffered. I feel there's so much I could do with those tools not only for for print, but also for websites. I tried going back to Photoshop a few times over the years but just couldn't manage its drawing tools - maddening!---------------------However, I'm now seriously considering switching if PS does what I need... and more. PS pros Most web design job ads specify PS and AI not FWsI need to be adept with PS and AI for print etc. I'm fossilizing!Assets and Artwork are often PS and AI files, it'd be good to share files with others in the company without probsIt'd be good to use the same app and sometimes the same files for web and printRaster Image editing is more advancedMore 'painterly' in its capabilities.Feels like I need to move on and upskill as a designer PS cons Can I draw in PS as easily as FWs? - or will I need to awkwardly integrate Illustrator into the workflow?Is it as easy to make animated gifs? (perhaps I should do it in Flash)Learning curve So here it is: Why should I make the switch to Photoshop?

I've made some mock up pages in PS and then sliced them in Fireworks and published. It works.
I have a few questions.
1. How should you add the content in Dreamweaver? I inserted a layer box and that worked, but...
2. Should I "punch out" areas for content? And then just put the correct color in the cell that is left?

I'm just curious why Bridge would default to Fireworks for PNG files? I pretty much use PS exclusively for my image work and I'm not up to speed on FW at all. Is there something FW offers that I'm missing out on?

am a Front-End Web Developer using Photoshop CS6. explain the salient differences between:Photoshop, Fireworks and Illustrator ??
If I use Photoshop, I can't see the point in learning these other products, surely I can do it all in Photoshop? Are there features in Fireworks and Illustrator that don't exist in Photoshop?

I'm currently using Photoshop CS6. Currently I have my Grid set up for every 10 pixels and 1 subdivision for each. I know how to use the "Control + ' " shortcut to toggle the Grid on and off. When I have the Grid turned on, items will snap to it. However, when I have the Grid off, items won't.
This was one thing I really liked about Fireworks, was that it would continue to snap to a Grid even if it wasn't visible. Any way to accomplish this in Photoshop?

I am making myself a logo in photoshop. I have made all the letters that will be used, but they are all seperate entities as most of you who have used vectors know. I would like to interconnect the letters, as well as an angel I have made to go above the letters. My question is, how can I join two seperate vector images into one vector image. For example, joining a letter E with a letter D. I wonder if theres a way to do this without having to delete part of each image and then re-draw, which is a pain. Sorry if this isn't really clear, but its hard to explain.

I'm doing an evacuation plan of an office building. The drawing itself is in the model space, obviously. The fire extinguishers and escape routes are added in layout.
The problem is that everything that I add in the layout ends up beneath the drawing in model space. I.e. the walls of the building are shown in front of the fire extinguishers which makes my evac.plan look like poop.AutoCad Architecture 2013.

Somehow the Content Center Filter clears all content while in ISO or DIN. Both libraries are turned on in project.
I can see only one custom library when either filter engaged. I also see both ISO and DIN parts when filter is off.
