Creating commands

You can save groups of steps in the History panel as a command that you can reuse. You can execute saved commands in any Fireworks document. They are not document-specific.

Saved commands are stored as JSF files in the Commands folder in your user-specific Fireworks configuration folder. For information on the location of this folder, see About user configuration files.

To save steps as a command:

1. Select the steps to save as a command:
   • Click a step, then Shift-click another to select a range of steps to save as a command.
   • Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Macintosh) to select noncontiguous steps.
2. Click the Save Steps as Command button at the bottom of the History panel.
3. Enter a name for the command and click OK.

   The command appears on the Commands menu.

To undo or redo steps using the History panel:

• Drag the Undo Marker up the panel until you reach the last step you want to undo or redo.
• Click along the Undo Marker track on the left of the History panel.

  NOTE

  Undone steps remain in the History panel highlighted in gray.

To change the number of steps the History panel remembers:

1. Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Fireworks > Preferences (Macintosh).
2. Change Undo Steps to the number of steps you want the History panel to record.

   NOTE

   Additional steps require more computer memory.

To clear all steps from the History panel:

• Select Clear History from the History panel Options menu.

  This frees memory and disk space.

  NOTE

  Clearing actions from the History panel removes your ability to undo edits.
