Converting a marquee to a path

Using Fireworks, you can convert a bitmap selection to a vector object by drawing a marquee around the part of the bitmap that you want to convert. This process is useful if you want to start creating an animation by tracing a selection from a bitmap, for example.

To convert a marquee to a path

• After drawing a marquee, select Select > Convert Marquee to Path.

The document's current stroke and fill attributes are applied to the new path.
