You can use bitmap files from Fireworks and other applications as textures. You can apply textures from files with these formats: PNG, GIF, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, and PICT (Macintosh only).

When you add a new texture, its name appears in the Texture Name pop-up menu.

To create a new texture from an external file:

  1. With vector object properties displayed in the Property inspector, select Other from either of the Texture Name pop-up menus.
  2. Navigate to the bitmap file you want to use as the new texture, and click Open.

    The new texture is added to the Texture Name list in alphabetical order.
