? creating curved graphic

[rein2 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I have been experimenting various ways to create this graphic, but can't seem to get it exactly right. I am having problems with the diagonal line connecting with the s curves. Maybe I am going about it the wrong way? Does anybody have any suggestions?

You could easily make this shape by:

1. draw a rectangle with the Vector Rectangle Tool.
2. Then grab the top two points with the SubSelections tool (white arrow).
3. Then hold down shift and press the Left (or Right) arrow key a few times to create the desired angle.
4. Now run ProjectFireworks "Curvia" Command and enter the desired Radius for the roundness.

You can download the Curvia Command here:

Thanks for the reply,

Man! I spent way too many hours trying to figure this one out, but if anyone wants to know, this is what I did.

1. Draw a rectangle
2. select the sub selection tool and drag the top right corner to the left
3. select the pen tool, click on the end point of the diagonal line, (same point as step 1) hold shift down and move to the right.
4. select bottom right corner (curved line), hold shift down and move to the right to the desired location

That's it!
