I am working on a button. I placed a copy of the button with a gradient fill directly over the original button. I want to use the Knife Tool to remove 1/2 of the gradient filled copy, but the knife tool is grayed out. I looked around to see if I could locate the configuration file for Fireworks to reset it to default as suggested in an earlier post. However, I have not been able to do it. Can someone please help me with this?
Why is the Knife Tool grayed out in...I kept looking throughout the forum and trying different solutions previously offered by others. what worked for me was to
click on Menu-Modify-Ungroup.
When I copied and pasted the duplicate of the button and filled it with a gradient, it seems that Fireworks automatically placed the two button layers into a group. I selected the top layer, then I ungrouped the layers. The top layer turns into a path, which makes the Knife Tool selectable.This is not a very intuitive or well documented tool. I hope Adobe provides manuals with ADOBE CS5 and thoroughly documents Fireworks and especially the Knife Tool.
