The QuickClips extension makes it easy to quickly insert frequently used elements into your document, such as icons, background graphics, blocks of text, etc. To create a clip, select one or more items, then run the "QuickClips - Save New Clip" command. Enter a name for the clip and click OK. Because Fireworks doesn't immediately update the Commands menu, you'll need to switch to a different app and switch back. Then you should be able to see the newly created item under Commands > QuickClips.<br /><br />To insert a clip, simply select it from the Commands > QuickClips menu. It will be inserted at the top of the current layer and will be aligned with the top-left corner of the current selection, or the top-left corner of the document if there's no selection. Note that inserting a clip is equivalent to simply copying and pasting the elements from another document. Unlike symbols, there is no connection to the original clip file.<br /><br />To edit a previously saved clip, find its .png file in C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Fireworks CS3ConfigurationCommandsQuickClips (or the Mac equivalent). Open, edit and save it like any other Fireworks document. Leave the clip's associated .jsf file alone. To delete a clip, remove both the .png and .jsf files.<br /><br />Since the Commands menu can have only one level of submenus, you may want to create multiple libraries to store clips. To do so, run the "QuickClips - Create New Library" command. Enter a name for the library, like "Icons", and click OK. To add a clip to this library, run its associated "Save New Clip" command, in this case, "Icons - Save New Clip". The clip will then appear under Commands > Icons.<br /><br />The extension comes with a few Windows cursor icons in the QuickClips library.<br />
