thought Id throw a screen grab of the command prompt panel (since no one seems to want it :P) … would work well with the history panel if you use it much - or really, any kind of duplication of actions. ![](http://www.umbc.edu/interactive/fireworks/commandpropmptpanel.png) ---

FWMX04 is superb… the speed along makes it worthy. Drawing is like rubbing your hiney on silk. Its wonderful! ---

you will hate going back to fwmx after 04. MX was dreadful to begin with but tolerable. Having used 04 though… and having speed in the authoring environment like that, shweeew, cant go back. Thats the big plus. Other features are so so I guess… Dotted lines are good, the rediculously missing scale from center has been added, built in ftp (a perk), saving natively to gif and jpeg as opposed to having to export (something that can be nagging in mx for small things though its usually a good idea to keep a png source anyway), the replace color tool (convenient) etc ---

all together now [SIZE=3]We have a dotted line tool now[/SIZE] No more work arounds. Now PS has to get with the program… I agree with Sen. So far out of 04 stuff FMX seems to be the only worth while upgrade. I have uninstalled my old FW for this one. ---

ipod = wastes Sen= To control the roundness numerically of a rounded rectangle you have to select the regular rectangle tool. ANd you can hold the 1 key or the 2 key to control roundness while drawing it or draw it then numerically inut vales in the property inspector. It seems weird that when you select the rounded rectangle tool you are not presented with the roundness numerically options in the property inspector. It took me a while to figure that out. Actually had to go to the help files to figure this one out. After about a week of trying it on my own…Just plain weird to me. ---

wow I didnt know 1 and 2 did it… I always used the arrow keys 😛 I just installed MX04 over on a text maching we have and Im playing with the rounded boxes now. It was nice having the roundness as a properties option, but the new features in scaling and corners are nice to have. Its a little easier to quickly change the roundness… but a numeric option would be nice. You still get that with normal rectangles though. So if you need that, just make a regular rectangle and use that. Autoshapes suffer from not having numeric fields to adjust their properties. ---

but doesn’t it seem weird that when you select a rounded rectangle tool that you dont det the propertied numerically when you are using that tool? You have to use a regular rectangle to get the numeric options…go figure. [Previous page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/fireworks-panel-3d-primitives-needs-testing/29908.md?page=1)
